Last week I promised a tip from my studio in the form of a demo. Yesterday, I filmed it. Today, the plan was to change the commentary to something infinitely more professional. But that plan was scuppered this morning when 3 lovely blokes appeared at the door complete with tackety boots, power tools, and a radio that’s been blasting out (mercifully) easy-listening tunes for the last 5 hours. They’re here to replace the wood-burning stove with one that’s less likely to kill us - the previous owner installed it himself! And is also somehow better for the planet. It’s a noisy business! There ain’t no way I can record a commentary with that going on. And yes, I should have thought of that earlier. But I didn’t. So what to do? Well, in the spirit of one of my favourite podcasts Helen Perry’s Just Bloody Post It - I’m going to do just that! So here it is. Complete with nervous laughter, shaky camera work, and super-fast-high-pitched talking in my lilting Scottish brogue! Apologies if you’ve no idea what I’m saying. Hopefully, the visuals are self-explanatory. I’ve included a list of the things I used below and also in the description box beneath the video - just in case! I have to say this was Take-2. Take-1 included Scout trying to claw her way through a door. And me swearing! Those two events may or may not be connected.
