even more editing!

One week free between editing sessions during which time Libby gave another lecture and finished her essay for the Japanese exhibition catalogue whilst Charles worked on his new darkroom and attempted to find his desk under the accumulated papers. Five days editing starting 20 July, not much to report really, except hard work and long hours. Having said which we did watch Betjeman's Metro-land (related to work so we weren't slouching) and Chabrol's Le Boucher, which was a treat (related to the family wedding Libby is attending in France 1 August). Two weeeks before the next session - Libby lecturing and preparing to entertain 8 people prior to the long trip through France with 3 nonegenarians (!) - Charles contending with the Bear and Charlotte. No rest for ...

More editing

Following another Gourmet Art lecture in Harpenden Libby tootled up to Lincolnshire for the second editing session, the entire script clasped tightly in her hand (well, it was on the lap top anyway). Luckily Charles was impressed with her efforts (she's obviously had a good coach) and the pair launched themsleves into the editing process. First stage, recording Libby's narration which went almost without hitch and then up to the edit suite for 3 days labour intensive effort putting together Brighton, Renishaw, Windsor, Coventry during the war and most of Coventry stained glass. Not a bad start, about 14 minutes total.
We also went to vet a Piper look-alike - only he wasn't, so then back to the drawing board - searching through the huge Spotlight volumes for possible Piper and Betjeman characters. A week's respite. Next scheduled edit 20-23 July.
