2017-01-18 – Sat on my backside.

My son and his girlfriend are driving back to Dorset this morning, so we are all up at a decent hour and I make a bacon butty for my son and some sausages (yes, just sausages) for his girlfriend.  They scoff the food, swill it down with a quick cup of tea and then depart.

My wife is making desserts again – it is her eldest son’s 30th birthday today, and we are going round to have dinner with him, his fiancee, our granddaughter and a whole bunch of other family members this evening.

I am scripting and filming today – I did an audio interview with Karl Sterling the other day, and we have decided that the audio quality isn’t good enough.  So, I’m going to film my half of the interview, Karl will do his half in New York, and then he will edit the 2 halves together.  First I have to listen to the audio interview and transcribe all of the questions and answers, so that I can (fairly) accurately recreate it in front of the camera.  The interview is almost 40 minutes long, and transcribing it takes me all flipping day.  I take the dog out (twice), but aside from that I spend the entire day sat on my backside!  I’m not going to get any of the video shot today, so that takes care of tomorrow morning.

I light the fire to take the chill off the house (even though we won’t be needing it this evening), vacuum downstairs and put the dishwasher on – I’m a proper little domestic God, aren’t I?  Then I just have time to feed the dog and get myself over to Hevingham to join the rest of the family.
