05:35 BS 9.1.

A bit higher than yesterday’s waking 20:52 BS 8.5. VERY stormy night! Storm had already arrived earlier in the day & started building up through the day! Shoulder was achey & my nerves were tingling a bit intermittently but, kept applying the arnica gel to control the shoulder pain. So, nerves never got to the “screaming their heads off” stage of last time! Whew! Swiping hand across forehead, in relief emoji!
My sleeping pattern is more or less back again after getting a little bit of sleep around 2/3am after my afternoon snooze until nearly 9pm. I’ve done the Time Machine backup & it only took 9 hours this time: apparently it takes less time if you don’t do anything else on the mac while it’s running; slept through it & learnt this!
🙄
I’ve gotten to grips to the new OS very fast & I love the new apps that are the same as on the iOS of the iPhone & iPad: syncs much better across the devices & I wished I’d upgraded sooner! I learnt something new from Apple support that all new OS’ when they come out are free, had to buy them before, as macs no longer come with the 2CD’s, to install & restore, with the OS on it. Which I already noticed when I bought it in 2014 but, knew how to reboot, Apple support, using internet recovery after my phone scam in Feb. 2015: ironically installed spyware when scammers said they were BT telling me to install virus protection! It was still the same OS then, just before the new OS came out! So, assumed THAT’S how to restore to the original OS if I ever needed to. What I didn’t know is that there are 3 modes of internet recovery:- installing the original OS that came with the mac; installing the latest OS & installing the latest OS that’s compatible; at some point the new OS won’t be compatible! So, I will now keep my OS on the MacBook Pro up to date, as I do on the phone & pad, as there is no reason not to!

I THOUGHT I was an old hand that knew macs well as I’ve been using them since 1987, my older brother’s classic 1984 original bought 2nd. hand, & this is my 5th. mac: 6 mac’s since 1987! But, this old dog learnt a new trick!
🙄
I’m not doing much today, it’s blowing a storm out there, & going to have a duvet day! I wish you all an easy, lazy Sunday with sunshine on the inside!
