Another great video Mike! Thanks again for producing these videos for us. They're very much appreciated!!
Thanks! But I'm still apologetic about how long it took to produce. I partially rewrote it three times while I was making it, but it finally says what I wanted to pass on.
Oh, and I hope you got that car situation sorted out. Floods are becoming such a regular danger everywhere on the planet. I can't even get flood insurance anymore where I live!
This is the third time we've flooded since 2000. Fortunately, the water has not reached our house or the studio, but our fields have been under a foot or two of water (30-60cm). That becomes time-consuming because I can't use my tractor when mucking out donkeys or the poultry, and I have to feed the horses multiple times each day by hand.
My car? I drove over a frozen puddle on our lane. A wheel dropped through the ice and an unseen rock cracked the sump. Two miles later I received a "Stop when safe" warning, but the engine seized before I could do that. That was my treasured 17-year-old Volvo V70 T5! After a lot of searching, I've just replaced it with a 14-year-old Volvo V70 T6. Age doesn't matter - it only has 45,000 miles (72,000 km) on the clock, and one lady owner from new. If age mattered I would have retired 8 years ago
Oh, the irony is... I was driving to the next village to collect a
free sofa for my studio. I fancied having somewhere comfortable to sit when I'm planning anything, and not have to always work in the office. Turned out to be a
very expensive sofa!
Enjoy it!
