Hi Again --

Chapter 14 has been uploaded.

I hope that the upload is correct and complete -- the uploader gave the file size after uploading as 9.20 KB which is about 1000x too small. Or maybe there is a wee typo in the script for the uploader window.....

Thanks for listening

Oh, and the uploader this time says the file size is 17.48 KB, but I'm sure that the file size is MB.

Cheers

I don't think anything has changed with the uploader - I.m not recording these days so I don't really use it much, I'll ask around.

Hi Again --

Anne and David -- you may not see what I am indicating with the loader because the wrong unit (KB) comes up after loading in a .MP3 file and when it shows the file name for the upload to go into the MW. It still says KB not MB. You may not see it unless you upload a file and get an output file.

Anyway, that is just minor technical detail.

Chapter 16 has been uploaded.

Even though it snowed a touch a couple of days ago, I just picked my first daffodils of the spring!

We're having too many 90 degree days. Hope you have a long spring.

Hi --

Chapter 19 has been uploaded and is ready for PLing.

9:11.2, 90.2 dB

Thanks for listening. I enjoy the recording part, but not always the sound editing....

NZ's re-entry into hard lockdown seems to have made world news -- perhaps because the government moved there after only 1 case. However it didn't stay at 1 case for even 1 day, nor did it stay confined to Auckland. I wish that watercolour paper were considered an "essential" item. I only have one large sheet of 640 gsm 100% cotton paper left and I'm currently using up the last of my hot press (smooth surface). No way to get more until we drop down a level.

19 PL OK!

Shortages are a small but constant reminder that things are not normal. But I'm a blonde so you shouldn't believe anything I say.

Hi Again --

It doesn't take long for there to be shortages. There were virtually no eggs at the grocery store this morning, even though many of the brands are produced locally. Or maybe all of Christchurch has decided to make Pavlova, meringues and/or lemon meringue pie.....

Chapter 20 has been uploaded and is ready for listening.

I wonder if the trend to dye the hair blonde among young modern Chinese has in it some sort of rebellion -- is it a way to look "bad" -- or has the author got it wrong -- or have times and fashions changed, as they do?

Thanks for listening.

Cheers

20 PL OK!

Shortages in the grocery store seem almost random in nature. As to young blonde Chinese...rebellion or maybe just to irritate parents/older adults.
