2016-10-26 – Just another day

It’s our 3rd wedding anniversary today, but there’s really nothing to celebrate…  My wife’s grandma (she was 100 years old this year) had a fall last night and broke her hip, so now she’s in Basingstoke hospital and due to have surgery this afternoon.  My wife is worried sick, as you can imagine.

I re-arrange the lounge and dining room this morning, trying to create a space for me to film my “DBS Side Effects” video.  Then I spend a couple of hours filming take after take after take – wide angle and close-up.  I import the video to my MacBook, and make a start on the editing process.  I had hoped to be able to publish the finished video today, but then I’m always optimistic – I tend to forget how long these things take!  The day passes in a blur, and it’s soon time to take the dog for her afternoon walk – the evenings are really closing in now, and this weekend the clocks go back an hour – next week it’ll be getting dark soon after 4pm.  By the time my wife gets home from work, I have finished the basic edit – it just remains for me to watermark the video (so that people don’t just steal it and brand it as their own – live and learn!) and then sub-title it (because I feel that my voice can be a little difficult to understand).  I concede defeat around 9pm, and will finish it off and publish it tomorrow!

I had intended booking us a romantic anniversary meal over at The Vernon Arms this evening, but my wife just doesn’t feel like celebrating at the  moment – and I can’t say that I blame her.  We have a Lidl paella, and crack open a bottle of beer – the champagne will keep for another day.
