Steve's Mother Betty went into hospital, with the same condition, a build-up of fluid, so we spent Friday and Saturday packing up and left on Sunday. Tonight we are in Gilgandra.
We tried to think of everything that had to be cancelled, rearranged, picked up etc --- all except for paying the last few days of rent! We were given the usual grand send-off and Lindy also rang tonight to see how far we got, so I don't think she is worrying about the rent!
We anticipate being home by Wednesday.
I plan to live in the caravan until I am satisfied that the house is clean and sweet. Last time Steve went home, he cleaned up a lot of mouse droppings. No doubt they will have played while we are away.
I planned to put some sounds here last week. They were of two frogs croaking, one in a pipe and the other on the ground. I had been wondering how best to capture the sound and Steve came up with the idea of using the video on the camera. It worked brilliantly.
Then I wanted to extract the sound, so I downloaded a program to do this. It went through the motions but didn't make a playable file. So I downloaded a second program. It didn't make a difference either. I think the problem must be Windows 7. Now I've downloaded about 21Mb unnecessarily and to the detriment of our allocation. I'll have to be careful until the end of the month! If I can't find a way to put the audio here, I'll just put up the video and we can watch a black screen and pretend it is night while we listen to the frogs!
