I’ve just been scrolling through the new Apple Classical app. I can’t speak to how good the app is, but I see that there is a lot of potential for me to learn about music here.
I am constantly amazed at the number of times that I don’t really delve into what is on offer with MacOS or iOS. The same could go for pieces of software. Yes, I can competently find my way around, but then I discover a feature that I have just ignored exploring, possibly due to habits formed with earlier iterations of the OS….or laziness.
Although I use the Control Center on iOS, I have ignored it on MacOS. Today, with the new OS update, I righted that wrong and because of it feel that I no longer need Bartender to manage my menu bar items. Don’t get me wrong, I still think that Bartender is a worth while purchase if you are suffering from menu bar clutter, but for me now things appear to be under control without it. Some pruning of what didn’t need to be up there, together with moving a couple of other things over to the Control Center, have done the trick.

Day 27: Support, suggested by @JohnAN
A detail of the support that the Japanese give to long branches on trees. A long wooden pole, tied in place by rope. This photo was taken in the Gyoen National Garden in Kyoto.

Day 26: Instrument, suggested by @UnfocusedWanderlust
A display of Ukuleles in the store front of Porto Guitarra in Porto, Portugal.
I always thought that the Ukulele was a Hawaiian instrument but Wikipedia says that it is of Portuguese origin.
On not making the bed
Sunday, March 26, 2023
I usually can’t start my day unless my bed is made. It is 7:45am on Sunday morning and the bed is made for today. I can now get on with my day. But yesterday was different… I didn’t make my bed. No one reason - I felt unwell and so got up later, and went back to bed mid-afternoon - but I was also up and about doing things through out the day.

The spice draw in our kitchen.
🤕 Nurturing a headache and sniffles this morning. I could do with a a quiet Saturday, but there are things to do. I hope that this cold leaves soon.

My not so good or clear attempt at catching Venus above a sliver of a new moon, last night.

Day 24: Court, suggested by @rom
I want to say that I didn’t get to the court today because I was sick. However, while the latter is true, I actually never get to the court. 😔
🤧 I don’t know where this cold has come from, but I am definitely running on a half tank at the moment.

Day 23: Chance, suggested by @V_
You take a chance walking under a Kiawe tree that’s growing on a beach in Maui. A Kiawe’s branches have nasty thorns on them. Those branches can break off and lie buried in the sand, waiting for unsuspecting bare feet.
I appreciate all the spammers writing to me concerned if I am having difficulty pooping 💩🙄
Who does a HomePod play for when no one is listening?
Unknown to us, we left our HomePod playing in our Barn last night, no one in there. I walked in this morning and wondered what the noise was, the music was on low. I had to stop and listen, and followed that with a “Hey Siri, stop.”
