in this Audioboo I am talking about the omnipotent of tea in England. Many people see T tea as being the panacea to all ills, whatever happens to a person in life the answer is to put the kettle on and have a nice cup of tea.

I made a video this morning next to the harbour and Platja d'Aro and I used my new microphone which is a clip on microphone I have connected to my Zoom H2 recorder. When I got back to base I was able to use the Final Cut Pro synchronisation feature which allows me to synchronise some video to audio. This feature really works very well indeed and I had great sound to go with my video that I have now posted up to my video blogging channel on YouTube.

I also talk about having to go to the shop to buy some mustard and of course I want to have some good Coleman's English mustard. You know the yellow very strong stuff that as a good bite to it.

There was a man near to me who was scouring the rocks to find seafood which he was probably going to take home and eat. If you like that sort of thing fresh seafood taken from the beach is probably a delicacy. There were also fishermen, campers with their caravans and Summer businesses getting ready for the summer season. there was also a boat in the water that had dropped anchor and could have been therefore fishing or could have been therefore diving, I don't know what couldn't get a good look.

Talking about my plans of the day. I'm going to be making some more tutorials for YouTube on you tube I have lots of different tutorials for Mac and iOS users and you can find them if you look for the name Wizardgold

Talking about my work at the campsite and booking new campers into the campsite and then I start to waffle on about clubs as I belong to when I was a kid and going to the ABC minors club on a Saturday morning to see the cinema. I give a mention to the black and white movies I've used to see that were from the children's film foundation. All good stuff!

Also talking about growing up in Sutton Coldfield and the difference between where I lived and the Falcon Lodge estate.

I start by talking about how my dog likes to go out for a walk or go out for a piddle late at night. Then I talk about how I like to solve computer problems and not be bullied by little difficulties. Then I talk about how my mother is coming to visit Girona so see the flower show next week, which leads me to have a bit of a moan about my mother-in-law who might also end up going to say the flower show.

Talking about the people that dump the dogs that they don't want besides the road and leave them to fend for themselves. I found a dog yesterday that had been abandoned and we fed him and got the police to get someone to look after him. Only a couple of months ago we found two puppies by the side of the road and we had to find someplace that would take them in. It is the financial crisis that people are deciding to give up their dog and they're too lazy to get them properly looked after, the bastards!

Talking about really feeling alive and having water in between my toes and the prickle of stones on my feet.

I've got another text editor to use on my iPhone and iPad and it's the one called Penultimate which works well with Evernote.

It's a happy sunny day at the campsite by the beach in Platja D'Aro

So today I have been doing the Audioboo after line down on my sofa suffering with a headache. I started watching Dexter series 7 and I got halfway through the episode before my eyes close completely and I began to snore loudly.

We have had some very changeable weather today with it being very cloudy and grim looking this morning, but now it is sunny and we have nice bright blue skies. Because of the wind I didn't do the recording of the Audioboo was outside walking the dog as per usual and I have recorded in the studio or office.

I could have done it this morning while I was at work, while it was quiet but instead I was learning some mental mathematics tricks. It is quite fun to learn these mental arithmetic tricks and interesting thing is that you work from the left to the right rather than a way that she was taught in school which was to go from the units on the right through the tens to hundreds etc.

iPhone to Android

I really do need a phone that would allow me to always have the ability for dictation. I can dictate with my iPhone but only within one application, that is the free Dragon Dictation app. It would be nice to have the full access to dictation in all of the applications I use. This is because I have become so accustomed to dictation using DragonDictate on my Mac.

Looking at the prices of the new iPhones the 4S or the iPhone 5 and then comparing with the price of a Samsung Galaxy S3, it makes the Galaxy S3 very tempting. The only problem is that, is that I am so deeply into the iPhone market with all of the apps that I have bought over the years. I imagine that I could get away with finding some of the applications that use to have android equivalents. I will have to have a real think about what I really do with my iPhone and whether that would convert it very well to using Android. With me being such a Apple fan head would be a large and drastic jumping of ship. I do love my iPad and I do tend to carry it with me wherever I go around the house and it is nice to have all my stuff that I do on one Apple device also available on the run ever else I'm using. So I can go to my Mac, my iPhone on my iPad and everything is there ready for me to use. Even so, the price difference between the iPhone 4S or the iPhone 5 and the Galaxy S3 being around €200, it is extremely tempting.

Working with video from a cheap camera and losing the sound as it is imported. Finding a work around with using video conversion software that is a bit tedious to set up.

Another tutorial video posted on YouTube this time about the audio software Twisted Wave for Mac.

Wondering if I can ever be friends with my ex in Ireland seems impossible, but I am going to try.

I bought two more applications from the app store today one was called Bossjock and the other one was audiobus and I'm even thinking I might buy another one called MultiTrack DAW although for the moment I could probably get away with using the garage band application instead. And then there another application which looked interesting called Loopy so as you can see I'm really getting deep into the audio applications and I like the idea of being out to create podcasts on the go using iOS.
