Video

Jasper was noisy again last night, but not quite as noisy as the night before. He woke us both several times through the night and snuggled down on Diane's pillow between his overnight periods of roaming. Ellie seemed to sleep through it all. I was up and about (clearing his overnight deposits) soon after seven. I wrote my blog entry for yesterday while enjoying my first coffee.

We left Ellie to sleep, but once I was dressed, I headed out for a morning walk. This allowed me to get back into my audiobook while strolling around the estate. Once I was home, I had some breakfast, then settled down to do the accounts. Di took Ellie to Bognor to get some new school shoes and to collect her medication on the way back home. It was while she was there that Zoe revealed that she had been hacked at the pub yesterday lunchtime, and her Santander accounts had been emptied. This is the problem with public WiFi, and why I use a VPN when connecting to anything other than my home network.

While Di and Ellie were out, I returned to my video editing. I watched another YouTube presentation and then got stuck into the short video that I was producing as an exercise. One problem that I had on previous exercises was the ability or technique to create a title page that looked like those I had used in the past. I like the idea of some common branding. This was my target for the day. It took me a couple of hours to crack the challenge, but I am now confident that I can reproduce it at will.

Zoe collected Ellie soon after three and took her to Chichester for her Monday appointment. We had a quiet hour in the lounge with our Kindles before I prepared some linguine with prawns in white wine and cream sauce.
