  1. Thanks Lee, I hope members will be encouraged to take the opportunity to do something in relation to their film making hobby, even if only something small. It will be a distraction from the constant news coverage of coronavirus and give us something positive to smile about. It will also be an opportunity to spend time in other hobbies or maybe doing something completely new that you’ve always wanted to have a go at but never found the time. We may even be treated to a glimpse into each other’s ‘world’ if we post little films of our ‘at home .…. ‘ diaries.

  2. I am finding it difficult to find red button on my camera and seeing the viewfinder when wearing my full hazmat suit!

  3. Good neighbours. I’m fortunate, my neighbours did my shopping at the same time as theirs. Now ordered to ‘stay at home’ I’m glad the sun’s shining. I’ve not done so much washing in one go before and breaking up cardboard boxes in time for the dustman was good therapy and thankfully the dustmen made their round but I’m not sure where the postie’s got to, no letters this week, mind you I’m glad that means no circulars.

    I, like many others, went for a walk on Sunday, alone and kept my distance. First I popped to Lullingstone Golf Course to see joggers, walkers, cyclists, golfers, dog walkers and horse riders all making the best of the outdoors and beautiful weather, despite it being cold. Then off to Andrew’s Wood where you had to wait to get a car parking space. It was packed. Having said this it seemed that people were keeping to pairs and family groups in the main. I gave them all a wide berth!

    Since then, I’ve been catching up with emails and telephone calls. The next challenge; how to relay our church services on Sundays? I know some are already exploring conference calls using Skype, Zoom or other similar platforms, but from what I’ve seen there is time lag on some of these, causing the sound to be well out of sync with the picture. Have any of you tried these platforms and found them to work well?

    Would any of you like to share what you’ve been up?

  4. I seem to be as busy as I usually am, with my film and DVD reviews (although due to the virus they are holding off sending discs out, so even that will peter out soon) and working on a top secret project for this site… 😉

    That and more frequent trips to the increasingly empty shops which is hell for a fussy eater when the only stuff you eat is gone. 🙁

    Yet you notice nobody has touched the easter eggs…. <_<

  5. To change the subject slightly, what is the Ultimate Newsreel ? The link in the comments from Andy doesn’t work. Then I click on the 3 links under posts and it asks me to enter a password, which I enter my standard password and it does nothing? Just curious.
