Toys

I love gadgets. I have loads that hide in cupboards because they never worked for me and are afraid I may do them a mischief.

Today I bought a new one that I hope will allow me to digitise my old videos. How pleased you will all be to see and hear me in the operas I managed to get videoed way back when I had a life outside V-blogging. Then there are the cute ones of my cats as kittens. And Henry counting (riveting stuff).

I have also been trying to play with Adobe Premiere Elements again and make a movie with actual clips in it, but it has defied me at every turn, from failing to recognise media, to freezing, to playing videos from my hard drive UPSIDE DOWN! I don't even know how to achieve that if I wanted to!

My little animated toy, Rio, has to go to the vet's to be spayed tomorrow. I must not resent having to get up at 6am during my holidays, given what my poor little bird is going to go through.

  1. I have a feeling I'm like you...there are some cupboards I don't even open anymore for fear of being crushed by the gadgets that were used once then put away.Please let me know if this latest one works :-)

    Good luck to Rio too,hopefully she'll feel a lot brighter afterwards

  2. Best wishes for little Rio's surgery!!! Will she have to stay overnight or can you take her home tomorrow?

    I have some old vids from the 80's that I'd hate to see deteriorate. Please let me know what kind of success you have with your new toy.

  4. I hoping it's all over but the stitches for little Rio now. I had to take my Iguana to the vet Saturday. Turns out she has an infection and I have to give her antibiotic shots! Poor Ignatia, I could sense she was off. Luckily she's still eating and drinking. I hope she'll forgive me for the shots...
