1968 Blackbird


Summer starts Saturday and I hope it will be better weather and a real summer not what we got so far.
Heard this Beatles song today and it brought back memories of past summers.

Today I became a docent at the National Gallery of Canada, am very happy with this development since it is something I have wanted to do for a long time. I also visited the Gustave Doré showcase exhibit, beautiful and stunning show. I realized while seeing his work that I knew this artist and his illustrations. He was also a painter and a sculptor, a man of great talent who died at 50 in 1883.

Blog almost demised


I was told some days ago that my blog might have been hacked or highjacked by some kind of device. I was unaware of anything wrong but I did ask people to try to access by blog from other devices and sure enough they were re-directed to a commercial site and then to some video on Youtube. It turned out that the clock device on my front page was the culprit, apparently of some Russian device. So I asked Mr. W to help me with this and he quickly discovered that it was that clock device, we deleted it and everything went back to normal.

I was considering shutting down my blog or erasing it, luckily that was not necessary, after all the work I put into it.

This weekend we go on Summer time and spring the clocks one hour. That is always a good thing.

From 1968 for those of you who remember.
