On Charge

There's very little to report, but the Gorse Fox supposes that after 98 days of lockdown, that doesn't come as a huge surprise. The morning was taken up with various domestic tasks, with meter readings, with accounts and so forth. 

It was only after lunch that there was a modicum of excitement when the Gorse Fox realised that the battery on his MacBook Air was not really holding its charge very well and on running diagnostics he got the message that it needed servicing (i.e. replacing). The Gorse Fox spent some time looking for a local Apple Repair specialist and finally found one within a few miles. He called and spoke to the chap. He was assured that the only thing he couldn't do was replace the batteries in a MacBook. (It was at this point that the Gorse Fox remembered he had phoned him when the hard drive failed in his iMac... and was assured that the only thing he couldn't;t do is replace the hard drive in an iMac of this vintage). The Gorse Fox bit his tongue. It would obviously be a trip to the nearest Apple Store, which for us is Brighton or Southampton. That can wait fo now.

The Gorse Fox spent the afternoon finishing the video from our 1992 holiday in Cornwall and then correcting the dates on some old photos in Google Photos. (The timestamp from the vides gave him direct correlation with photos taken at the time and not previously timestamped).
