I caught these photos of the patrol boat out in the bay during the rain the other day. They sailed right into the end of the rainbow, making me wonder if this vessel could now be called a Rainbow Warrior. Talking of which, Yiannis is back and fine and around and about though the Rainbow bar is not yet open again. There’s no point. The island feels deserted.
The usual day to day battles of a writer’s life on a Greek island continue. Today we are slowly ploughing through Word ‘72, or whatever the latest update was to my computer’s operating system. I may have mentioned it before but thanks to the great global overlord in the sky which is Microsoft, I have a problem with my autocorrect. Every time I get an update from the all-seeing omnipotence it buggers up my collection of my stored autocorrect options. I’ve been on the forum with them getting all kinds of un-useful advice about ACL Extensions or something, but the problem is pretty clear to me: Whenever Office updates (as it did without my permission) then I can say goodbye to the hundreds of inputs I have made over several hours, over several months, since the last update. I have now turned the auto updates off until I can be sure I will no longer lose my thousands of autocorrect words when an update comes along. I can’t be the only one to suffer this problem every time there’s an Office update, surely.
And if that meant anything to you, then thank you for listening. Thanks also for the tips and advice previously sent in. I am now going to leave things as they are and wait for the next update, which I will control, and see what happens. At least then I can see if my theory is correct and I will be prepared for any slaughtering of my carefully constructed autocorrect list. Meanwhile…
Great news on the undergarment front! New thermals arrived on Tuesday, along with new slippers and a box set of ‘American Horror Story,’ so that’s me settled into the sofa for the next few days. No, actually, an episode or two a day is enough, we’ve also got a series of ‘24’ on the run and various other things lined up for the evening TV viewing. I am waiting for a Roku caster (or some such magical appliance) so I can ‘throw’ my tablet at the telly and see what the internet can cast. (We use some very odd language these days.) Mind you, I am not convinced that the connection and signal strength are going to be sufficient to cast a Film On live TV show from one country to this and from one part of the house to the next, and then from the sofa to the television. Time will tell.
By the way, Adrianna is back from her trip and back to her twice-weekly blog which you can find here.
