I watch a man on YouTube who aquascapes aquariums, and his videos are amazing. The quality is superb, and it's all filmed on his phone.

There is virtually everything you could ever wish (or not) to view on YouTube. Some of it unbelievable.
Did you know that one cannot practice sword swallowing with anything other than a flat blade as your gullet is flat, like a sheath, not a tube, as people suppose it to be.

I let my cat watch cat TV videos on YouTube. His favourite is one with the bird bath.

I have so many old photos laying around. I need to learn how to scan them and keep them somewhere. A disc maybe. Then I will put a few nice ones in albums and bin the rest. So may pictures of ducks!!
(good job I spell checked that last sentence before posting. grin]

oh seacliff take care with the binning I put all my older photos on many discs but never ever look at them there is so much value in the old fashioned way of keeping photos
I have kept mine as photo but backed them up on disc the first thing my away teen grandkids do If they come for a visit is get the old photo albums out never ask for a disc ?

sword swallowing

I think you should have added a proviso, Gabriella
"Do not try this at home"
People may be looking for a new hobby if bored stiff with isolation.

Yes that's true Bluebell, thanks. We often do a collage of old family photos pinned up, when we have a family do. Fun to see how we all looked when little. The pics I will bin are more the holiday views/architecture/ducks etc.

The people ones (if not too blurred) I'll try and keep. It's really good to write on back who they are too, and a possible date. I very much doubt if my kids will be interested, but you never know.
