Apple Music recently mangled my music library, mixing up albums, artwork and tracks. It would no longer let me play some tracks from CDs I'd already purchased, despite previous upload and sync via iTunes Match. I've now ripped some CDs to a standalone music player and finally I can enjoy them again!

For #Caturday this cheeky guy was a neighbour's cat who used to look at us through our patio door. #CatsOfBlueSky #cats
Cat with a white chest and muzzle, brown/tabby coloured back extends their tongue to live their nose. It looks at the camera, sitting upright on paving slabs in front of a wall.

Glenfinnan Viaduct yesterday. Lovely walk, a bit snowy on the way back! And yes, this is the bridge that features in Harry Potter... #GlenfinnanViaduct
Blue skies above the arches of the Glenfinnan Railway Viaduct. Trees without leaves in foreground and path running towards Viaduct. The low winter sun peaks through an arch.
