I got close to throwing the towel in today, a difficult, frustrating and depressing day from technology to weather. As I was nearing the end of the Bubb family cine film I noticed that several of the films would not open for editing and a couple of other had electronic glitches in them, this first came to notice when editing the Merseybus film. This has been deleted from the shop and list, I don't want any more diatribes from ebay-ites. I really wish I could rid myself of this last bastion, Ebay what a joke it all is. Getting through to understand any other outlets requires a translator from techo child American to plain English. Getting to grips with a smart phone is still at an early stage, several months have passed and I haven't managed to get it on and off without help. Now I know why the zombies walk around with them all day, it takes forever to do anything with them.

I've now recopied several of the cine film affected by the interference, they are fine now. I've formatted all my memory cards in case it is them causing the chaos, it could also be one of the smaller external drives I use as interim transport when moving between machines.. At last as the wretched day blows towards an end I am really getting to the end of the tunnel, with a nights sleep I'm sure it won't seem as bad but reality I don't need all the hassle and it is only the archives which cause the head aches and mostly used to feed the oldies brigade who know nothing of what is involved as they haven't even got within hammer distance of any computer.

The weather has been horrendous for days now, floods and fallen trees are all about. The little IQ had its MOT today. Esther McVey is on the DVLA case chasing my driving licence other wise O will not get to Cyprus for the third year. What we do about the barmy tax people I don't know, one minute they want money the next the want to give a shed load back. Corona is still blamed for anything China can't be blamed for, the reality is that after 10 years of Tory government of Brexit and prime ministerial booze ups we are on our knees.No chance of filming this week
