This morning I converted three more posts from Classic to Block edits. These were:
I gave the first of these a different header picture;
Wayback Machine was useful for the second. The correct pictures were all in my iMac Photos on the relevant date, but since they were missing in the post I didn’t know which of those I had published. Wayback provided the answer. One image was irrelevant, so I deleted it.
I was encouraged by a phone call from James of Peacock Computers saying that he and Owen are continuing to work on some of the issues and tackling the posts from the most recent backwards, whereas I am working forwards from the older ones. This means we are quite well coordinated.
This afternoon I ventured out on a dead heading session but was
soon driven in by the first of a series of rapid-fire heavy showers, spattering patio paving and windowpanes with explosive precipitation.
I read some of Lawrence Durrell’s novel Justine which I had begun a few days ago, then nipped out during a moderation of the deluge to finish the gardening task.
Between periods of darkening cloud sunlight buffed the surface of the
dripping plant pearls, with enough respite for me to capture them with my camera. As usual, each image in the gallery bears a title.
Within seconds after each deluge the brooding skies would change to cloud-scudded cerulean blue.
This evening we all dined on Jackie’s classic cottage pie; firm carrots and Brussel’s sprouts with which she drank Hoegaarden and I finished the Bardolino.
