The Cruelty of Dementia.

My mother passed away yesterday, finally losing a battle against dementia that lasted more than 14 years.

Tip: Skip the pop-up window in the WordPress Reader

Whilst I was absent, they changed the WordPress Reader. Now if you click on the title or image of a notification in the Reader, you open a pop-up window, which I personally am not a fan of.

Time for a new theme. Moving from Nishita to Ryu, which I hope you find is better suited to viewing photographs.

Drop down navigational menus are at the top. I hope you like it. 🙂

Please pardon my dust

But I thought I’d try a different theme. Changing to Nishita from Ideation and Intent.

I think this one is a little more photograph friendly and may allow you to see my photos in higher resolution. Any feedback welcomed.
