pjaye and AussieMeg - love the videos, especially the longer length. pjaye, your gray cat is gorgeous! What is boiling in a pot - it looks like three oranges? Your video is so crisp and colorful. Thanks for sharing, everyone. I am tempted to try this if I can figure out the technical side of it. Yes those are oranges! My mother has a blood orange tree and when I saw her last she gave me about 3 dozen oranges, so I was making lots of orange flavoured things (orange curd, mulled wine syrup) and then I found an interesting cake recipe that uses whole oranges, you boil them first and then put them in a food processor skin and all. I figured if I was ever going to make it, it may as well be with mum's oranges as they are "organic" (she doesn't use any sprays or pesticides on them). It's kind of freaky boiling whole oranges...not something you do everyday! The recipe says two but they were quite small so I used 3. The cake turned out great, I've made it twice now. Here's the link if anyone wants to try it Persian orange and almond cake.
As Meg said, just start videoing. I use the app, because I need it to be easily accessible so that works best for me...no technical skills required.
I bet you can always tell when I've been to Mum's...did you recognise Lilydale lake? (I told mum to wave and she's saying "I'm not the Queen"...lol) Are some of yours at Ringwood lake? I was down at Mums last week - I can't believe what a bomb site Ringwood station still is, that seems to be taking forever. Great videos too...where's the rest of them? I hope you'll upload June & July - I'll look forward to watching those as well. I feel a bit left out with no little boys playing sport on mine, just a sleepy grey kitty
But dammit today I was out all day had lunch with a friend and went to several different places, just got home and realised I didn't video a single thing, which is even more of a *d'oh* moment considering I have been reading this thread and watching everyone's videos over the last few days.

A friend of mine makes a cake using whole boiled oranges, but it uses a huge amount of oil, I think it was at least one cup and that really put me off making it. Your recipe looks much better. I have used video from Lilydale Lake, I think it was in Feb or March. None at Ringwood Lake though. The lake ones would be from closer to home, lots of smaller man made lakes around here. Can't wait til all the work at Eastland / Ringwood has been completed. It is a bomb site and the parking sucks.

Oh and I meant to add - definitely watch Glitch, I really liked it, but there is no explanation or real conclusion at the end, so obviously there will be a second series. If you are OK with an open ending then definitely give it a try, I thought it was well done and some really good acting and I liked how the various storylines played out. I'd recommend it.

I am still doing my photo 365. I haven't missed a day! It is so fun to look back on the year so far! A couple of times my sons girlfriend has seen me take a photo and she always asks "Is that your photo of the day!?" Ha! Haha, my kids say the same thing!! You know you could always put your photos into a slideshow and share them here. I'd love to see them. I am computer challenged but I would love to do that! Any suggestions on how I would go about doing that???
ETA...All the photos are on my iPhone 6

Once you can get the photos onto your computer you can use Windows Movie Maker. You open the program and click on the Edit tab, then the "Add videos and photos" button and select which photos you want to include. You can then fiddle just a little bit with the settings - all you really need to do is set it up so each photo flashes up on screen for 1 or 2 seconds (Edit -- Duration -- 2) then save it. I make sure to Save Project at regular intervals, then when it's finished you need to Save Movie. And then Publish Movie to You Tube or where ever you want to publish it for all of us to see! We can help if you get stuck.

I often think that when I'm filming a clip "oh no, I'm showing food again; people are going to think all I do is eat". And I have two sons who aren't very enthused about being in the videos.

Polz, loved your video and your music choice was perfect. I have bookmarked this thread so I can watch the others tomorrow. Great job!
