A little Mozart in Autumnal Mood!
GREEK ελλενικα
What's that all about? I am starting my Greek classes again. χαίρω - see that little mark over the iota? Not a dotted 'i' or an accent but a guide to pronouncing the whole word by telling you what syllable to stress. It can completely change the meaning: πόλη means 'city' but πολή means 'very'.
I love writing Greek script. I even bought a new iPad and iPencil to do this. It's a great addition to Google translate, but the handwriting apps are disappointing.
AUTUMN φθινόπωρο
Almost as soon as we arrived back in Marediana, on the stroke of September 1st, the first suggestion of Autumn whispered in. Today it is more of a roar as the wind kicks up the surface of the swimming pool, bangs the doors and rattles the shutters. Even the wild plants have perked up, ready and willing for the first taste of rain in many months. Here are today's clouds. Summer seems to have flashed by, and now dusk closes in at supper time, although it is still hot in the sun, and the sea positively warm.
Gripe Alert!!
I understand that you are not reading this to hear me whinging about WordPress. But I do feel as though this tail of an App is definitely wagging the dog of my Blog. What is giving me particular pain, since you ask, is including photos. I take them on iPhone and iPad then go through a version of hell to get them onto the laptop and thence into the blogosphere. Some of you will say, get a bloody PC. It may be that the 10 yer old laptop is groaning under the weight of digital imagery therein. I just had to get that off my bra-less chest.
After a heroic struggle, here's a shot of a pomegranite, almost the size of my head. Looking forward to overdosing on these in just a few days' time.
The soundscape of Autumn is also changing. The deafening cicada chorus is running down. The wall of sound is being replaced by individual soundtracks, each one now sounding a bit like a rusty wind-up toy running down, or sometimes like an electric toothbrush that needs a recharge.
Phone pix on the Mac. I just send them to myself via Messenger and download from there. Simples!
It’s what happens to them in the Mac that slows things down. Photos and Image Capture both running slowly and Beaver Builder for WordPress doesn’t seem to respond to drag and drop from the Mac. Glad I finally managed to get your email address right!
