The 16th & 17th; Curse you, iCloud.

The 16th of February. Another day of much the same. I seem to have come to the conclusion, unconsciously, that the best plan is to systematically put everything I'll want in future into my Dropbox, so they're safe, then delete pretty much everything from the iCloud and start again. It's really boring and slow, but at the moment it's the only way I can see to do it. I've also discovered that the 20,000 photos I deleted from the Photos app are not deleted from the website version of iCloud, which doesn't make any sense. I think I need to have a webchat with someone, but I'm going to leave that until Monday. Going to the cinema tomorrow and I don't want to start something I can't finish.

Read a little bit more Gnomon, but it's been mainly Altered Carbon today. I keep spotting people I recognise - I realised the main actor is Holder from The Killing (the shit American version), and I've seen Val from Riverdale, Cam from Bones and Jiaying from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Curse you, iCloud. 

The 17th of February.

Day off from all the computer business. I can't keep doing that to my back; needs a rest.

So, this morning I finally put up the two late blog posts, and spent some time petting and chatting with Mac. He gets a bit sad when he's alone, poor thing. Will have to find him an owner who has time to hang out with him.

After lunch, I started work on Flick's poodle, but didn't get very far before Daddy and I had to go out to the cinema. We were seeing The Shape of Water but not at Vue because for some reason they aren't showing it, so went to Resorts World. Some bizarre people had a go at Daddy when he pulled into the car park for reasons we didn't really understand, and they called him Granddad which was silly because that isn't happening any time in the foreseeable future.

Thankfully we did not encounter them again, and the film is every bit as good as everyone says. Except the few upsetting parts but one has to expect that from a Guillermo del Toro film. I'm so glad that budget constraints meant they couldn't shoot it in black and white because the colour theme is so beautiful. Also, somebody write a script for Octavia Spencer as lead so she can get the Oscar she deserves.
