I did find it. (See 'I could be gone some time'.) Eventually. Both the paper copy and the file on the computer.
But only after taking out all my old notebooks, folders, scraps of paper, with stories, ideas, poems, words scrawled all over them, and having a good clear-out. Some pieces of writing I had numerous copies of. Some made no sense whatsoever. Some I could imagine as the basis for future talks or writings. Some were so bad I tore them up and threw them away.
I also found these.

More importantly it's Eat Ice Cream for Breakfast Day on Sunday. Got to be one to celebrate!
Also the annual Six Nations rugby championship begins on Saturday. Wales take on Ireland and England play Scotland, so we'll have a busy day in front of the television. That's Chwe Gwlad Rygbi Pencampwriaeth to me.

Ugh - I hate finding really old disks and unable to retrieve the info. Though - if you have a computer store close by, you might check with them.
It's snowing and I won't leave the house, so videos are the perfect way to pass the time. Thank you.
A computer store would likely be able to retrieve and put them on a flash drive for you for a fee. But, very possible a University Library/IT would also and likely not charge you.

I got a jump on ice cream for breakfast day: I've had (snow) ice cream for breakfast - and lunch and dinner - for the past two days. Unfortunately, the snow will no longer be fit for ice cream, tomorrow. I strike while the iron is hot/snow is cold.
Inaccessible data are what makes books so valuable. They don't care if the electricity is on or how long it's been since they were read. Good luck!
