At the time of posting, \u2018air quality\u2019
is 4. But what does this actually mean?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Insomnia biteth mine arse-cheeks again! So I\u2019m up transferring thousand of photos from my iPhone to my ailing antiquated iMac. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This in itself merits a post, and maybe I\u2019ll get into it a bit later? But my immediate reason for posting – apart from filling wakey-wakey time (that should be dreamy-snoozy-sleep time!) – is that I decided I ought to know what the \u2018air quality\u2019 numbers on my Weather App actually mean. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I googled the topic, and found this<\/a>, from defra.gov.uk. Tonight air quality is at 4 (and it feels very warm – and close, aka humid – to me, as well), which means folk certain levels or types of condition should avoid strenuous outdoor activity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fascinating! At least now I know 1 is ok, or best, and 10 is \u2018don\u2019t leave your home, the air outside is toxic\u2019!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, in iMac land, my ageing \u2018pooter fails to work consistently. I\u2019ve had to resort – and indeed it\u2019s not the first time – to using Image Capture, \u2018cause Photos – the app that\u2019s suppose to deal with pics and videos off my iPhone or other devices is totally crapping out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wanted to sit at the computer until all pics and vids were safely backed up. But that might take well into the daytime, by the looks of things. Movies can slow things down. And I have got a fair number on ye aulde iPhone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once everything is backed up, I want to have a major purge of said iPhone. I don\u2019t need to be walking around with over 4000 pics in my pocket! And the lack of space on my phone is causing problems with certain other apps; Amazon Flex for instance, which sometimes can\u2019t load properly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I need Flex running smoothly right now, as it\u2019s become my main earner, in these recent and troubled times. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyhoo, it\u2019s nearing 2.30 in the am, I think I\u2019ll stick it till 3, and then go back to bed regardless. I think sun-up is around 4.30am? And I\u2019ve got some counselling at 21am, and work (Flex, as usual these days) in the art\u2019noon\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, many hours later, and the \u2018progress bar\u2019 seems to have gotten stuck about a fifth of the way across. So\u2026 no realistic hopes of sitting here till she\u2019s done. I gots to get me some <\/em>sleep!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s roughly 3.30 am. Back to bed. Perchance to sleep?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
