Bird in a field

I braved the sleet and a strong biting wind to get my walk in today around the fields.   I had every inch of skin protected but the wind still managed to penetrate.  I spent the day at home doing techy things today which as usual threw up problems.  The most annoying was that my new phone would not synch with iTunes.  Eventually, Apple informed me that iTunes on my three year old computer could not be updated to the version that the new phone requires.  I can't update the operating system on the Mac to El Capitan without scrambling my photos in iPhoto and risking some of the old software no longer working.  Grrrr!  In the end I did an iCloud backup which worked ok but I will no longer be able to do hard drive backups.
