Pandemic Journal, Day 552

I upgraded my iPhone and iPad to iOS/iPadOS 15 today – I’d been running the iPadOS 15 beta for a while, and it had been quite stable, so I felt confident in upgrading the phone, too. So far, so good, though I’m not sure I’m going to keep the Safari address bar at the bottom of the window on the phone.

And that was the most exciting thing I did today. I forgot to bring the big camera along on our evening walk, so I didn’t get a good photo of the full harvest moon – but Diane and I did have a nice walk, so I’m happy.

Pandemic Journal, Day 551

I was surprised when I went out to get the papers this morning – it was raining! To be more accurate, it was barely drizzling – water was falling from the sky, but not even enough to wet the newspapers (which had arrived without bags). But it’s more rain than I’ve seen here in months and months, so I’ll take it as a good sign.

By the time we went to the Farmers’ Market a few hours later, the sky was clear and the sun was warm; fortunately, I was wearing my new hat and was protected from UV.

This evening, we took our after-dinner walk just about sunset; the moon was rising, almost full, and it was a very pretty sight indeed. It may be true that “the best camera is the one you have with you”, but it’s also true that there’s only so much you can do with a tiny lens.
