Fetes, recycling and iMovie
Yesterday was a proper 'half term Saturday' - in the morning we attended the Raynham Way Community Centre Summer Fayre, enjoying - for what must be the fourth year running - the singing of our offspring as part of the pre-school's contribution to the opening ceremony.
In fact, the organisation and layout of the fête was almost exactly the same as last year, and the sun was just as warm, too - nothing like a bit of consistency!
We took the opportunity to visit the Recycling Centre in the afternoon - I took a few photos on Beth's camera, and thought, for a change, to make a little video of it, using iMovie. Now I've got the hang of the Ken Burns effect, it's fairly straightforward to do, although I must remember the order to carry out the editing:
- clips
- transitions
- captions after checking the timings of the clips and transitions!
Anyway - hope you like the fruits of my labours...
Tomorrow we're off to the Science Museum for the day - it's my normal day off (though it seems like I've been out of the office for nearly a week!) and Christopher has a teacher training day at school, so we're hoping for a fairly quiet trip. I'm sure there'll be plenty of pictures and stories to be told!
Meanwhile, Beth's had some good news - it looks like baby number five (or even six!) is on the way! OK, so it's still early days yet, but everyone's hopeful that a sibling(s?) to Lucy (who was the result of Beth's second surrogacy) is less than nine months from making an appearance...
