Another birthday video, a big one.

[Les.]

Really not sure where I should post this, this will have to do.

My latest video.    https://vimeo.com/579025338

But I have some questions. I bought a new (£40 cheapo Chinese) camera last June, so last year’s video was made with the same camera as this one. This is slightly longer, but only occupies about 1/5th the data size. Now I really can not remember what I did last year, maybe I used VIDCUTTER (already on my PC), possibly PITIVI, not on PC but I definitely looked at it last year.

I COULD have loaded it directly, after some compression. The original shoot last year was around 700MB, and my maximum free upload to Vimeo is 500 MB.

This year I used Pitivi, and that certainly reduces the file size. I am a total incompetent with video, usually just blundering through, though possibly prior to last year, my pal may have uploaded for me. He certainly did all my earlier videos.

All my videos can be accessed thro this link.  https://vimeo.com/user13073545

Congrats on becoming an octogenarian, I still have a couple of years before reaching that exalted status, though to be honest I’d much rather be  twenty two and know what I know now!

I like your heavily wooded garden, and the very neat log piles. When I lived in Connecticut I had a similar big log pile, but the darned thing used to get infested with both Black Widow Spiders and Timber Rattlers, which meant I only ever ventured near it with heavy gloves and when it became really cold (-12C) . A log bin in the house was a complete no-no! I used to warn the kids never to play in the log pile, so when SWMBO picked up a log without gloves and felt a sharp pain (probably a splinter), the nine year old then promptly told her the potentially lethal effects of a bite from either of these beasts.
