Ups and downs

First post for a while due to being out of sorts as I have had so many ups and downs at the lately with my bank account being emptied by fraudsters, Pro camcorder braking and being over £1,000 to repair and over £105 for getting it checked I think it's pointless because getting it fixed as that's worth more than the camcorder but it has had a good run for 2 years and with it being second hand as well I have to 

appreciate the shots it has got me. 

I now have a plan to sort that out by selling for spare parts with another working piece of kit to buy a brand new HDV tape player which allows me to play all the footage that I recorded on pro camcorder tapes and record from CCTV cameras to tape which kills 2 birds with one stone.

So that was the downs but what about the ups I hear you ask, well for one the lake and where I kayak and film is reopened so expects some nights kayaking under the stars and as the best meteor shower of the year is coming I can't wait. It's my birthday next weekend so I have booked off a long weekend from Thursday afternoon to Monday. On the Friday I am off to N.Wales with a mate and my brother for the day to get some fresh, cool air by the sea and that should give me a boost till February when the season of weeks on the North Wales coast begins a new. Plus on that same week I am finally going to complete the artificial Holt that has been delayed so many times.

After writing this post I feel much better and have realised I have more positive things going on at the minute than negative, so as Christmas is nearly here I have lots to keep me busy and fingers crossed expect some Ottery updates soon!!!

Thank you for reading
