I filmed there yesterday - what a place!

April 21, 2022#112 I went missing 😳
I don’t know how it happened - but I have been busy

Just released third video this month!

Historic Croydon Airport video under review, more to do

Addington Village Heritage Walk video live last week

South Croydon Walk & Talk video live this morning

Probably won’t record another due to time focus on Historic Croydon Airport updates

Also need to prepare for Farthing Downs (nature/history focus) next week

I do feel momentum is building up now

I recorded the Addington Village video on my replacement DJI Pocket 2 - all good

I purchased a GoPro Volta power grip and it is awesome!

DJI compensation went towards a power pack for the Pocket

However I ordered the wrong one 🤨

I am in the middle of the return and re-order of the correct one and hope that will be the end of the saga!

Garden clearance is going well, more tools purchased but well worth it

Currently cleaning up and treating the outside of it

Next step is to clear out the inside of the shed and do general gardening

I also need to book my Mudlarking trip - more to follow

New Mac ordered and can’t come soon enough

Working as efficiently as I can with what I currently have though

So yes, very busy but in control

Oh, and still need to sort out that updated intro/outro for this!
