Thank you
Thank you for being all supportive and lovely: the hard drive is partially restored thanks to Recuva (no more is possible, as it then started to backup what I'd restored to the hard drive, and I Give Up). In fact, the only important thing I didn't manage to get back (and I believe a chap called Murphy has something to do with this), is this term's Brownies Accounts. I have found Accounts going back to 2004, but not the most recent batch. The drafts of my novel went too: but then again, I had backups on a different drive. This will now be sorted out for the stuff retrieved. I have a 16GB pen drive, and I will investigate a digital vault for my photos. Music is also on my iPod, so that's OK.
I pretended I didn't care about losing those, but the pleasure with which I greeted the recovery of the photos I took in Albert Kahn's gardens in Paris suggests that I might well consider them to be important. I have some of those pictures over my bed: these.

All this, and generally being under the weather (and certainly not eating remotely properly) means that I am on the verge of hibernating.
