Extensions

 It was dull, grey, slightly damp, and chilly. At least it wasn't raining. Diane planned to meet with her friend, Kathie, and go across to Ardingly to attend the Quilt Show. I would be left in the care of Jasper. Diane left just as my weekly Zoom call with the cousins started. The call followed the usual pattern of banter and debate and left me with a grin on my face as the call ended.

After the call, I began a task to install some extensions to the ooRexx programming language that I use. I followed all of the instructions, and the installation went well. Everything appeared to work. Then, I realised that the extensions had been installed in a random directory rather than the core "/Applications" directory. I couldn't immediately see how to move it, so I sent up a flare on the relevant discussion forum.

While waiting for a response, I went out for my first walk of the new month. The audiobook kept me company as I wandered around the neighbourhood. I was out for about an hour or so, then settled down with some lunch. In the early afternoon, I sat in the lounge with my Kindle, but Jasper (with Diane out for the day) threw himself onto my lap and went to sleep.

When Jasper finally left, I returned to the computer and looked at the responses from the discussion forum. I (sort of) followed one set of instructions and, with a few tweaks, seem to have got it working how I want - though I need to do some more testing.

Diane arrived home around 18:00, having had a lovely day at the show. She has brought back a few small samples and (only) a square metre of fabric - remarkably restrained.
