It was another stormy day here – not especially wet, but dark, cold, and windy. I am now very definitely ready for this dreary winter to end. I spent the morning at my desk, mining old photos in search of … Continued

Mandarin

This morning I updated my Mac’s operating system to Catalina, a nerve-wracking process, though in the event it ran quite smoothly. As I hoped, the upgrade has solved one of the issues I’d been having, and I’ve now been able … Continued

Flash

One for joy
