Another photo from last summer to remind us that it won't be long before we can feel the warmth on our skin again.

Early morning walk with the dog.
This is a quick iPhone snap from about 6:45am today when I was out with the dog for a tramp around the fields. The light on the trees opposite from where I took the photo was perfect. It's a shame the iPhone doesn't really do it justice.

Lunchtime!
I took this using my Sony a6300 and 16-70mm lens at 70mm. The camera was connected to my iPad via WiFi and I used the Sony app to remotely fire the shutter. The shot was hampered by the short lens and the WiFi signal, which meant i had to position the camera further away from the feeder than was optimum.

This is what I was presented with when my 90 year old father said that he’d forgotten his password for his 10 year old Dell laptop. I bought it for him so I’m expected to mend it. I’m a Mac user and haven’t used a PC for a decade. No backups, no disks, help!
Early morning in the garden.
It's not as warm as it looks!

Thanks to everyone that responded to my earlier post when I mentioned that I was struggling with CSS styling for my Archive page, especially @jeannie and @mariovillalobos

I took this photo a few years ago when on holiday in Florida.

Moved to Micro.blog
I’ve just completed the signup process for a Micro.blog subscription and will be moving some posts from my old WordPress site across to micro.blog over the coming days.
I’ve decided to use the Arabica theme for the web and have made a couple of small changes to the Archive page, to keep links looking the same across the site — I didn’t like the Nav bar looking and behaving different from the Categories on the Archive page. I just need to work out how to get the Categories to display horizontally now. I tried to use CSS to style them, but whilst I can change colours, etc., “display: inline” doesn’t work as you’ll see below.
Happy to take advice from anyone who has more experience using CSS than I do — which’ll be pretty much everyone.
My next challenge is to style the dates on the Archive page to look like the dates on the rest of the theme.
Still to do:
- Decide whether to keep my old domain name and transfer it to Micro.blog
Oh, by the way, this post was written in Ulysses and published direct to the blog.
Summer!
Here's an image to remind you of what summer looks like.

Snow on the fields.
It snowed briefly yesterday evening and was -2 degrees earlier when I took "the boy" for his morning tramp across the fields.
