Since I first got Windows 7 a couple of years ago, my computer, upon restarting sometimes, changes the display size for everything but Microsoft Word periodically back and forth between a larger format and a smaller one. I suspect that it’s the result of changes made by Windows updates. I prefer the smaller format and the one good outcome that came from Windows 10 hijacking my computer a few weeks ago was that it seemed to fix everything into the smaller format. When I got up on Saturday though, I found that everything had restarted due to an update and it was back in the large format. Grrrr!
On Saturday I took advantage of a very
warm day to do my laundry in the bathtub and to hang it out on the deck. There
was a little less room on the railing though because my neighbour had had the
same idea and hung his comforter out to dry. I have one spare sheet that I
washed recently because my stinky cat, Jonquil had been lying on it near the
laundry basket. I got the smell off but it was still covered with cat hair. I
tried washing it again this time but the hair remains. I think the only thing
that might get it off is the rotation of a Laundromat dryer. It’s not that
important because it’s just an extra sheet, so I guess it can wait until fall.
When I went for my bike ride, some SUV
made a right turn without signalling after the light changed and could have
clipped me if I hadn’t been aware.
I went to Yonge Street, rode north to St
Clair, east to Englewood, north to Moore and then east into Leaside. Once I was
past Bayview I started exploring the streets south of Moore and later
Southvale. There was a big complex of identical, small apartment buildings that
looked more like they were part of a community college campus. I cycled to
Millwood and then back the way I came.
I listened to David Bowie’s second album,
“David Bowie” and then part of his third, “Space Oddity”. The quality of the
songwriting and the production improved with each of these albums. Space Oddity
was the first of his songs that had electric guitar in a rock arrangement. From
the second album, I particularly liked “We Are Hungry Men” and from “Space
Oddity” besides the title song, I liked “Unwashed and Somewhat Slightly”.
I finished watching the first season of Have Gun
– Will Travel. I won’t bother downloading the second season but I enjoyed the
character of Paladin. He’s sort of like a wild west Batman in the sense that
there doesn’t seem to be much that he doesn’t know how to do. On two occasions
he acted as a lawyer, he has an impossible amount of knowledge, he’s the
president of an exclusive club in San Francisco, and the list goes on. Somehow
he has gotten rich as a soldier of fortune, but in the episodes in which good
people hire him, he hardly ever takes their money.
