Action:chat. then back in the saddle.

Last night me and the Swedish girls and their guide had had a long supper as they are good to chat to. All have good English. I was about to come back to my room to rest and do some work, when we were asked to stay and chat some more so that they could film it. Luckily they are good to chat to, but to suddenly have to sit for as long as it takes to make 2 felt carpets was very tough on my botttom as the sits are wood like mine as home at the table, great for 20 minutes but not much more. It has been decided that the crew will come with us on our horse ride today too, but I am not sure how much my bottom can cope with.

Interestingly for me.  A couple of years ago, hopeful that one day I might actually use some of my media skills, I asked for a decent video camera for my Christmas and birthday present. When it arrived from Amazon to my surprise it was like a small stills camera and I was disappointed. However, checking the specs showed that it was a good video camera too,just not what I thought one looked like. In the end though because it did not work, I spent that year in protracted discussions with Amazon instead of using it and eventually got the cost of it back from them to buy other things with them. I could have had a replacement camera but it had been so complicated working out what was wrong with the camera that I  did not feel confident about buying such an item again from them, so everyone that year got presents from Amazon.  However, had a I seen how such a camera could be used in a professional setting maybe I would have made more effort to get a replacement as the camera crew are using much larger versions of what I got but it is essentially an SLR style camera mounted for steadiness on a sort of neck break.   It will be interesting to see the outcome of their work, when it goes onto U tube, however, they will have a heck of an editing job based on how much material they have filmed so far.

Anyway I had better get ready to get back in the saddle pics to be added later.
