Happy Ostara! We just had a marvelous sunset so I thought I'd share it, it was followed by a tiny slither of moon descending towards the dusky skyline, the new moon in the arms of the old moon. It's bitterly cold outside, trying to snow. But the evening are drawing out, thank goodness. I can take a bit of cold, it's just too much dark I don't like.
I've brought a new plastic greenhouse (my last one blew away) and I'm going to start planting just as soon as this cold snap is over. The allotment is coming along lovely. It's great having a shed up there, we have a stove for teas and bacon cobs, in fact it's rather difficult to not get too comfy in it, it's only the cold that keeps you on your toes, a little digging and you're soon toasty.
Michael and I have entered this competition . It's to make a video for an Explosions in the Sky song called 'Welcome Ghosts', which is their new single. We are number nine. I think the idea is that the three with the most votes get shown to the band and they choose a winner, but we've only just posted ours and there have been some up for weeks, getting votes, I'm not sure how they are going to account for that. To be honest it doesn't really matter I just enjoyed the brief, it was a good challenge, especially getting to the front of the gig I filmed them at, it was quite an ordeal. I can usually manage quite well cause being short people don't really mind, but some bloke saw what I was doing and started to follow, he was massive and really pissing people off, so I had to shake him before I could proceed. When I finally got to the front I managed to film one song, then sat back to enjoy he rest of the gig just as they finished. What I did get was good but it's been so cut up you can hardly notice it. The rest was filmed on the way home and at the allotment, cut with older clips. We still have no video camera so we were having to make do with the digital camera, it has a video function, so the quality is a bit shot here and there and streaming for the web only makes matters worse, but anyway enough excuses, this is our entry;
