What's Making Me Happy!

Hello everyone. Sorry I don't check in more, it would be nice to revive the forum, maybe a WeChat or WhatsApp group would be better than a forum? Maybe there is one and I'm not cool enough

Anyway, what's making me happy right now?

I have two.
1. I moved back last year and was in university accommodation where MeiTuan was this hassle where the guards complained and the delivery guys didn't like me so I didn't use it. Now I live in a private apartment so it's not problem. I know that this is one of those things that was cool for most people about 15 years ago, but it's a novelty for me.
2. A bit of self promotion but hopefully fun. My hobby has always been electronic music and in Covid I got into making videos. Last couple of weeks I got pretty much all of them uploaded to Bili. It's quite niche, but I'll post it on here

Glad you're back.  I may want to consult you on how to most effectively embarass myself on videos.

I don't put myself in the videos, I just chop up bits of animation and films to music.
 
But you probably should make some videos of you telling your mad stories, I remember you have a wife and a daughter in law, I'm sure that they can help you with making it coherent and that leaves you time to concentrate on embarrassing yourself

Any suggestions for free (or incredibly cheap!) software for chopping up and reassembling videos.  My daighter and my wife are happy to film me being an idiot, but haven't volunteered to edit.

Sorry for the late reply, didn't see this...

I use a one called Wondershare which costs about 500rmb to own or you pay a subscription. I use it because it's really simple, I think that the best one in DaVinci which is free for basic, but I couldn't get my head around it (I didn't try to be fair

Thanks!

I may have some time to play with one or the other during my own "What's Making me Happy!"

Small sad intro - my schedule hit some speed bumps so I am not on the train with the other charity members heading to FengHuang today.

But I am heading to Xiangtan next week, and finally also sponsor a student there.  When that's done, I'm not heading home.  Instead, I'm heading to FengHuang by myself for a week (at least).  I need time away from everything to work on my book on Dragon Boats.  Also, if I can find enough words that rhyme with paddle, I may be able to put together together some poems for the book.

So hard the Lunatic paddled
That his brain became deeply addled.

I may have to pick a better word for rhyming. 

It is an Lunatick Mariner,
And he stoppeth expat companie.
'By thy long grey beard and glittering eye,
Now wherefore stopp'st thou me?
