Another video 20180520



Amazingly I made another video today.  I wanted to make something about the heat and did a lot of clips this morning.  It showed me that I either have to use the phone on my camera better or get a proper video camera.  A lot of the ideas I had either didn’t work or weren’t possible.  I did enjoy doing it though; it was fun doing something different.

The picture is of Rajan and Giri loading up their motorbikes with the first of our cashew that we are getting processed.  They take it to a nearby village where they do this work.

Funday in Manchester 20180519



I made another video today and realise once again that I am doing this instead of taking photos.

This picture came to me from Emma when she took the two children to a local Fun Day in one of the parks.  Elsie doesn’t seem very convinced that Sam is still Sam.


Magzhiran 20180518



Am rather pleased with this picture as I took it off one of the video clips that I did.  For several days I couldn’t find where it had gone in my computer!  Now I have found it and will know where to look next time!


Cactus 20180517



We had a heavy dew one day and at this time of year it brings out the cactus flowers.

I love how they only seem to need a drop or two of water in this very dry time and off they go.

End of day colours 20180516



A busy day which included a Farm Group meeting but thankfully no note writing.  So later in the afternoon I had time to try out a new camera lent to me by Giri.  In some ways I really liked it as it had some characteristics which made it easier to use than my phone.  But the camera itself is no better than my phone so it won’t be a device for the long term.

One of the pictures I took was this one of the sunset which I really like.  Sunsets can be lovely at this time of the year but they don’t last for very long in this part of the world.

Luscious green 20180515



I actually managed to take some ordinary photos today instead of video clips.  This is of the bassella spinach growing in the garden which is the most gorgeous green.  When everything else looks rather brown and dried up. 

It is so humid and my skin itches a lot of the time.

Someone else 20180514



Again, a picture that just came.

No idea who or what he is.  I think he looks young and rather fragile.
