24th February, 2026.
Right … it’s officially official.
I’ve lost weight!
As long term readers will know, I’m overweight: and on a weight management programme that’s designed to help me lose weight.
I was at my most recent meeting, yesterday, in fact.
Usually, I’d join the Warm space hub, next door to the weigh-in room: but it was a bit noisy, yesterday!
At any rate: and after the wait?
I had myself checked by the volunteers who run the service: to find I’d gone from 100·1 kilos, last week, to 98·5, this week.
A loss of some 1·6 kilos, in other words.
Considering I’d done up, last week?
And had a cheeky fish supper, on Friday?
I was pleasantly surprised … !

It’s also official: that I’ve had a delivery from Amazon.
One that’s turned up when they said it would.
Which is nice.
Part of the delivery?
Is a bluray copy of The War Between the Land and the Sea, being copied as we speak, some leather cord for my waistcoat, and a leather cutting blade for the cord.
The blade?
Was advertised as a skiving knife, I should add.
I’ve not heard the word, ‘skiving’, for a long time: and it’s the first time I’ve heard it in that contest.
The last time I heard it?
It was getting used very differently!

Oh, just in case you’ve seen today’s introduction video, at the top of this post?
I made it with the rentable version of Final Cut Pro, Apple’s pro-level video editor.
It’s not as good as the ones I’ve made with DaVinci Resolve, or iMovie.
But, in my defence?
I’ve a lot of experience with iMovie: and, despite its steeper learning curve, plenty with DaVinci.
At the moment?
And right now?
I have some learning to do: especially about Final Cut’s transitions, and colour-correction.

As a last thought, before moving on … ?
Yes: I have seen another episode of Stranger Things: episode three, “The Turnbow Trap”.
And, yes: I’ve finished reviewing it.
