MC AT VILLAGE FETE AND GUARD BOXES WENT OUT AGAIN

A long tiring week where we never seem to catch up but the Brazil trip is drawing near. Today was the village fete which despite dark clouds remained dry. My first outing at MC went fine I think and just about everything was cleared from site before tea time , just await our tent to make its way home tomorrow or Monday. The girls trounced the boys at tug-o-war for umpteenth year, not sure what makes the girls here so strong perhaps its the farming blood.

I've now switched off my new computer and working with the old one, it has been nothing but grief with the new one, lost masses of data with three failed extension drives and I'm still trying to get the capacity of drives back out of the dreaded ex FAT32 limits. FAT 32 harks back to floppy disc era and even ex Fat32 isn't that great a capacity, almost like having a virus. Quite a few DVD orders today, I've finished editing all the Kelsall programmes, they are already on the PMP shop and the photos are filed away. I managed to delete all the Cambridgeshire shots even in advance of getting the covers made but I can take stills from the video.

The suitcases are already starting to get packed for Brazil, the weather there will certainly be better than in Cheshire where spring and summer have been dismal although the plants and foliage looks as lush as could be. Lets look back on my first Brazil trip in Sao Paulo.
