I’m up and scripting my weekly vlog without delay this week – my vlog usually takes me the whole day to produce, but I need to take a couple of hours out to drive over to Wayford Bridge and make sure that our boat is still floating (the automatic bilge pump isn’t working at the moment, and there is a slow leak where the steering gear pierces the hull). It’s also my daughter’s birthday today (23 years, where did they go?), so I make sure to send her a birthday message on Facebook, and check that her presents have arrived (they have).
I manage to write a script, film myself (without too many retakes), edit and upload it to my YouTube channel by 3pm, which is quite an achievement (for me). I drive over to our boatyard, pump out the bilges (still no engineer – I’ve almost given up hope!) and return to Southrepps in plenty of time to publish my vlog and post links to it on social media before my wife gets home from work.
