Into 2025 with Lovelocks of Sunninghill video & tracking ;-)

[Robin Lovelock on robin@gpss.co.uk]

Hi Guys ! I've updated our 2024 Lovelock Christmas Newsletter(s) on http://www.gpss.co.uk/xmas24.htm and, like others, some may love or hate the  "Into 2025" video below - with a recent introduction "tour" of house & garden :-)

https://www.youtube.com/embed/jYaX4C56G8Y?si=Zp9OZggG0bLNJVFN is a 50 minute video with the trails of photos shot on Monday 30th and Tuesday 31st December 2024 ( New Year's Eve ). Problems with Robin's Pocket cameras means most photos were shot with the old 4:3 aspect ratio. Also, some video was shot with his smartphone. You will see that Robin now spends most of his days in Sunninghill village, in places like cafes, restaurants, and the Comrades Club ! He LOVED seeing the New Year in there ! :-) Robin explains (Blackadder) Baldrick's two cunning plans : 1) create "workshop space" in garden, to put things where they can be found: done ! Just need to exploit it ! :-) 2) Get Samantha out of her bedroom, helping June, in house & garden - giving Robin more time in the village ;-) 

The video starts with Robin's usual amusing introduction, shot on Monday 30th December, walking down their front drive at 22 Armitage Court in Sunninghill. Robin shows you Snoopy's Robot Boat in the front garden, on 24/7 Static Test, researching improving solar power. Not yet done. The boat will probably NOT be ready for a Bray Lake Test, then an Atlantic Attempt in 2024. Photo trails show how, with the right help, they might get the house and garden back to what they were several decades ago.  This, and earlier videos, have important detail for potential helpers in "property maintenance" ;-) They need plenty of experience and "common sense" ;-) After the photo trails, Robin wraps up with video shot in July 2023: prophetic words of James Lovelock about Global Warming, and Robin's suggestions about the DVLA. He still has not received his driving licence. Most guys would be annoyed, but Robin is often amused by incompetence - so long as it does not result in suffering, pain, or death. It has been very "inconvenient", with more load put on June, coping brilliantly with her health problems. She's had an x-ray and a blood test, and been told "no problems seen", but still no appointment via Magnolia House to see a specialist - to get a proper diagnosis. The latest letter to the DVLA appeared in earlier videos, but is dealt with more clearly on Robin's PRESS and DVLA pages ;-) e.g. Julie Lennard, head of the DVLA, left that job to head the CPS on 25th November ? :-) Yes, as can be expected, from Robin's career, then hobby interests, there are plenty of examples of people, GPS Tracking, and technology being exploited. e.g. wildlife and people caught on CCTV; Sunninghill Comrades Club; Pub Lunches ;-) The automatic subtitles/captions were soon available, with translation into any language. Well Done Youtube Guys, whoever and wherever you are ! ;-) Footnote: Youtube now gives a choice of three images for the "title picture" again - often a good choice - even better if not me in it :-) Copyright of music playing in background can be a problem: block the sound clips, rather than the whole video in some countries ? Google and Youtube things change - fewer people to employ and pay ? Bring back people, simply aided by A.I.  ! :-)

Hope you had a good Christmas & New Year - wherever you are - Love & Strength x :-)
