Heidelberg happenings

(I'm feeling content)

Sitting in the smoking section of the Hip-Hotel restaurant (Zum Goldenen Schaf - The Golden Sheep) and just relaxing and chilling out while hubby is at his meetings.

We have spent the weekend learning a LOT about Heidelberg and especially about its history. The old town here is absolutely beautiful and the castle, which we toured yesterday, is absolutely fascinating. You can't help but learning quite a bit about the history of the region as well when you walk around here. A guide book is definitely a good idea. Doesn't need to be big, just have good sections on the town and the castle and have a good map.

The weather was OK on Saturday an Sunday, but yesterday it was chilly and very windy. Today is cloudy with brief glimpses of sun, and I am not exactly feeling inspired to go out walking around again, although I do want to make a little more footage about the town and need to buy a couple more things. Hubby has meetings until at least 4 PM tomorrow, though, so I still have plenty of time.

This place is an absolute treasury for gifts! There is a T-shirt printing place where I have bought 5 personalised T's as gifts for various people. Can't show them to you, though, because "people" watch my vids! Same about a few other lovely things I have found. Will probably make a video about "my haul" once I have unpacked everything back home.

There is one big draw-back to working with HD video - and that is that processing time SUCKS! I have a feeling that this laptop, although new, does not have the processing power necessary to let me work on my clips very much. That sucks, as I have time now that I don't have access to my workshop! When I get back home, I have a ton of things I want/need to do there.

I have been studying a book called "Making Marks" by Robin Hopper, and gotten plenty of new ideas for things to make and especially how to make them. Can't wait to give them a try on Thursday and over the weekend. Friday I "have to" go to my pottery class, as I have started on a big pot with a face on it that I want to put my chives in on the terrace. The chives will be like the hair on the head, you see.

Thanks for stopping by. It is nice to know that this is at least being read by "some"one. I'm off back to Pinnacle to see if I can manage to do any editing at all on here.

Marianne - still in Heidelberg until Wednesday night.
