It should work
I’ve had an ongoing problem with taking pano shoots on my current iPhone, as well as on my previous one. I know the functionality is there because it offers the option. But it never seems to work. So forget that, macro is so much easier, and I can capture flowers up close and personal. And flowers, especially pretty ones, make me happy.
But I’m in Yosemite, and I need my pano shots to work. Today. My twelve year-old who is taller than me (which in 12 year-old speak means he knows more) nonchalantly flipped my phone over. What? I need to hold my phone in portrait mode to take a landscape pano? Really? Who would have thought? That’s what it says, Mum, give it a go.
Hmm. So technology. So 12 year-olds. So pano.
Will see you on the other side. Or not! May be limited posts for the next couple of weeks, will share happy snaps if I get that far!
All the best, dear friends!
Until then 💝 keep well xo.
I wanted to do a post yesterday on the odious process of cancelling my Adobe creative cloud license, here is a relevant post and my comments:
This is relevant to me as yesterday unbelievably I cancelled my Adobe cc license. And I can tell you it is not an easy process. First of all I had only wanted to sign up for a year. But what happens is that after a year you automatically get signed up for another year. With fifty percent cancellation fee of the annual amount if you decide to stop anywhere in that year. Which is what I decided to do. And what a process to cancel. You have to speak with an agent (live chat or phone call), and the agent is obviously incentivized to do anything to keep the credit card payments. I was offered multiple free months if I decided to continue (free months for software I already said I don’t use), or wouldn’t I rather love a photograph app (‘the best photo app’) for only $9.95 on a new annual subscription. It took more than ten minutes to cancel my subscription, and I still got hit with a $60 cancellation fee because I opted to not pay 4 installments of $20 and 3 months free for the remaining 7 months of my second annual subscription which I didn’t want in the first place!! Gosh, glad I’ve got that off my chest
Adobe doesn’t get a lot of love these days. Or maybe they do, but I don’t see it because I no longer subscribe to the magazines that usually cover their software, no longer receive any of their marketing e-mail, and don’t keep up with the websites (such as Lynda.com and CreativeLive) that present online seminars and tutorials.
Today, I am going to give them some love. I am going to thank them for something they have inadvertently done for me.

Erika (from I’m Free!) and I were discussing decisions, and what to cook for dinner. By some strange twist of fate, I had taken a photo of my cooking this evening. Last year was a pasta-free year, but this afternoon I decided to be a rebel and indulge.
So here is my dinner decision for today: pasta, cream and vegetables! With salad. (I’m feeling kinda shy at sharing such a personal photo, lol!)
The month of chocolates and roses! 🍫🌹❤️
Wishing you stars of love, friendship, and happiness.
Happy New Year!
Thank you to all the friends I’ve made, and support and encouragement this past year 💝
Two weeks ago I wrote an exam, and failed by two questions. I am fortunate enough to have an understanding manager who sponsored a retake for me. And today, two days before Christmas, I passed! Yay! Now I get my headspace back, head from out of a 500-page study guide.
It has been mentioned by two different people in the past week that I have tenacity. I have never used that word before. So it is a bit strange to hear it twice in one week. But I passed, and I am glad! And relieved 🙂
Sometimes I think nothing shocks me anymore. But I have just been shocked over something that is perhaps quite common. I’ve spent two weeks alternating between technical problems (which one do we choose today?) This has kept me at work until just before 7pm, a few minutes ago. And as I exited the building and passed the coffee shop at the entrance, there were signs stating a private party is being held. There were men standing around with drinks in their hand, and topless. half-dressed-as-Santa, ladies mingling amongst them. In my local coffee shop! My eyes nearly shot out my head. What! A well known waiter was at the entrance of the building, and I couldn’t help but express my reaction. How can these ladies do that? Entertain drinking men whilst wearing nothing? Making themselves an object? And he just shrugged his shoulders, men do it as well. I’m sure they do! Except I’ve never been across it, myself.
And as I walked towards the bus pondering this situation, I was reminded of all the problems I’ve been stuck on for the past two weeks, a situation which often defines my life. And an unwelcome thought popped into my head, surely prancing around naked would be an easier way to make money? I have to go home and think about issues I don’t know how to solve. One week before Christmas. And not only that, study for and re-sit an exam I failed by two questions last week. Yes, I’m totally the last person who should be judging others for their decisions.
