More video making 20181117

Have spent a lot of today creating the extra video I am doing about our flowering lotus.  I’m learning such a  lot more about the various ways I can enhance my videos.  Although I think I will have to be careful as it would be all too easy to use too many special effects.

I want the vibration of the lotus to shine through.

There was no school session because of the weather – they had all been given the day off.  This meant I could start and finish the weekly video a day early.  Very pleased!

The picture is of Elsie after her hair cut although to me it does not look that different.  According to her mother they only took off the fuzzy bits which she thinks she could have done herself.

Heavy Rain 20181115

Had very heavy rain today but it stopped early enough that I could go to yoga. 

There was meant to be a cyclone hit today but it turned south so we only had the tail of it.  Even although the rain felt very heavy and persistent the ponds are still not completely full.

Some things work 20181114

The wifi technicians came yesterday late in the afternoon and managed to get the wifi going again.  Apparently the antenna needed an extra bit of software which he downloaded to their computer in Pondy that controls all the antennae. Still seems to be going OK. 

My first SD card suddenly sprung into life and I got the pictures, one of which was this one which I love. 

Had a session at Udavi school this afternoon which was  chaotic and hot.  I sometimes wonder whether they are learning anything.....

Lotus 20181113

Having difficulty with my SD card again that the computer won’t read.  I’m also having problems with my wifi and someone is supposed to be coming any time to look at it.  At least in the meantime I can use the office wifi so I can get on with all my stuff.

Yesterday I couldn’t stop the computer from constantly reading the card, but today it won’t read at all.  When I got to see the pictures I was really pleased with them.  I feel I am seeing differently.

My mouth feels better today but it has taken over a week’s worth of vitamin B to get it to that point.  After being bitten by a dog and stung by a bee my left leg got bruised by a flying stone today when I cut the grass after work this morning.  It seems to be taking a lot of punishment.

Hidden Gem 20181112

One of our lotus flowers is in the process opening and I am going to try and make a video of it.  The bud has grown a lot today.

Once I finished I went around the Pryog orchard and came across this hidden gem.  It’s a guava flower and the photo doesn’t really show how small and hidden they are.

Really lovely and they smell good too.

Family 20181111

This is the first Sunday for months and months when I think I have got more or less up to date with my work.  As a result I haven’t done very much apart from various housework jobs.

I don’t like having too little to do.  I just feel tired and sleepy! On the other hand I don’t feel like doing much either.

Yawning………

I didn’t even have to go out and find a picture because this lovely one of Emma and Elsie came through WhatsApp.  They were on the tram on their way to one of the Manchester museums and by all accounts had a lovely time.
