Like many young children, my toddler and older baby love that Antipodean canine and her family, Bluey. To be honest, I probably like it as much as them. I can quite often be found chuckling at Bandit, Chilli and their offspring, sometimes when the kids have given up watching. We hope to be moving next […]

This weekend we visited Jurassic Encounter 2022 at Royal Victoria Country Park in Netley near Southampton. This is a giant travelling exhibition of some 50 dinosaurs (and a couple of non dinosaurs), touring various parts of the UK and EU countries.

Doing it All Again…

So “yes” it is possible and even quite fun to make delicious butter at home with your kids. It’s a brilliant way to start teaching your young children about science too. Now excuse the quality of the photographs, I hate the i-phone picture quality and I had very greasy hands and did not want to […]
So in my head I have that song from the 90s, “Return of the Mac” as I write this…. except that noone knew I’d be back as noone probably knew I went away. Well I have been away for almost 18months. The reasons for this are varied. I’ve launched an arts organisation, run 2 big […]

SLAM Fridays: SHAPE CLOSING PARTY
Why is it that whenever anything big is meant to happen I get ill? I don’t know why but that is what always seems to happen. A couple of weeks ago I came down with a bloody awful virus and I am having a nightmare trying to shake it. Tomorrow is the closing party […]
Hi this is a very short post. If like me you use After Effects for your work sometimes then you probably have come across this issue. You got export something, add it to the encoder queue, or launch it and after loading up you are met with the crash screen. You search frantically for an […]
