Wandering in Kent

25 January 2009

I would have posted this earlier, but electricity got in my way. You see, there was a nice big power surge at John’s office which blew out a few power supplies (great, thanks!). One of the power supplies took care of his server and so I couldn’t get hold of the video in which I star.

John had needed to test a new piece of equipment for his professional video camera – a newer and better version of the equipment that was being tested when we made this video, my master’s guide to ballet. So Dad, John and I headed out into the countryside where only goats and horses could see us messing about and filmed this and that for a while and generally goofed around. Then John went home, edited the film and made us look all serious and accomplished. Wouldn’t it be great if we could do that at the end of each day? Just go back and edit it a bit. And maybe add in a bit of appropriately soulful music.

I had never seen the ballet video – I guess I had never gone back that far in your blog. Not to embarrass you, but you seriously have a beautiful voice! It’s not just the accent (you know we Americans love a British accent), but it has a lilting quality that is just lovely.

I forgot to add: don’t quit your day job, re: the ballet still needs some polish.

Funny! And I kept yelling at the screen…”Don’t Jump!” and I kept making up all these mini stories. She is lost. He is looking for her, but can’t find her. She is going to jump in the river. He is sad that she jumped. But I laughed when you cracked up.

I think your idea is brilliant. I want to hire someone to edit my life and add soulful music!

Like Ricki, I’d never seen the ballet video either. I always liked 3rd position best too.
