Dear @Dayleeo // 7th of May // well the day is upon us 59 now, 78 in six hours, laptop club!

Good morning love, it’s 9am and I’m writing this out to you, I got up a little later this morning and had my morning latte at the cafe just to get a walk in the lovely fresh and sunny air — it’s gonna be another stunner today, extra toasty expected here in the van today but I’m already prepared — door is cranked, everything that can blow air is on and I’m ready.

I think I’m gonna switch everything to record at 30 fps today instead of 60 fps trying to crank that graphics ain’t gonna work out in this heat and anyway now that @dlive has that update I realise I need to up the capture quality of the camera to 4k and less frames, let the camera do the work instead of squeezing a 720p camera into a 1080p shot at 60 fps.

I’m glad you got out to walk dogs and spend time with mum, that’s so damn valuable love, you have lots in common and I think you need each other right now to talk too, at least ya mum probably does so you should totally go to moms, take her out to the cafe for coffee and breakfast and chats — try and get a bit of that balance into your week ya know?

Kinda bummed you don’t have a swimming pool nearby, I took a look at the spa day treatments nearby and they run about $125 (+$10 tax) for about an hour of deep tissue work — kinda wish I had the funds to drop on that for both you and ya mom to go because I think that would be awesome for you both to do that together and you could make a post around the experience.

Seems the majority of the normals are out for bank holiday, I guess they will be everywhere today because of the weather whilst I’m here trying to have a normal monday because if I don’t then the week is gonna run away with me. I’ve got the doctors first thing in the morning for results and potentially another man (doctor at least) sticking his finger up my backside — such is life eh, you have to have these tests in life! :)

I’m feeling pretty damn good thou today, think slowly I’ve been catching up good on sleep, even thou I’m really tired when I go to bed I’m tired in the right way and ready for sleep, not kinda ready but like out like a light ready, I think it’s close to exhaustion levels but no different from when I was working those twelve hours on and twelves hours off — I think once we are on the road we should stick to that method.

Like four days of twelve hour days of productivity including media making - photos and videos, treat it like a client on site job and then four days of downtime where we write, edit and take time out to reflect on the previous four days, I think it’s a good way of keeping momentum — maybe we should try it when I come over, the first week high intensity long days and then the second week like a vacation.

If things turn out well enough and I can afford the other machine to edit I can learn a new video editor and edit together stuff in the downtime/second week too in the morning times — maybe we need to start putting together a ‘places’ list of things we can do for the second week — dunno just shooting the shit and trying to future predictive.

Wow, can’t believe I’ve wrote all that above in 9 minutes. I guess that coffee is doing good work this morning, gotta fire up the camera shortly and get that vlog done otherwise I’m gonna be bathed in sweat, I’m already half dressed at this stage and I know this top is coming off in the next few hours (OH BABY) for another sit and sweat day — man we need more aircon in this country don’t we? :)

Still, we are doing the right things, step by step, day by day, tomorrow I’ll get $20 from udemy for doing nothing which will help with food supplies for the week, lemons and such like to keep the body flowing — as long as I’ve got electric, water on tap (literally) and internet I’m good to go right?

gonna close up the post for today love, it’s 09:12am and I’m sure you are locked in some kind of creative adventure in your brain in your wayzzz right now and I hope you get some good REM sleep in the process. I know you are gonna crush today because I feel you had that emotive reset yesterday and I know you are ready to smash monday morning! (at least I hope so!)

I’ll speak to you shortly.
Lots of love and hugs and stuff,

Da Mouser,
