Good Books for a novice.

Many thanks Andy. I shall soon be cartwheeling down the High Street of Helston (The original quaint old Cornish Town) Not bad for a 72 year old!!!

I wasn't searching books specifically. When I opened your link there were six book titles showing, none were the one you mentioned. Everytime I clicked on the link a different set of books came up so I searched for "Digital filming" and came up with the list showing the Figgis book. At the bottom right where it says visitors also looked at: That's where the Colin Barrett book was listed. Anyway I am going into hospital soon and have today purchased the Colin B book to read while I recover (hopefully).

Really weird, the link should give you the shop home page, with several cams, memory card, ipod one book and adobe software.

Anyway, I'm sure you'll enjoy it and look forward to your early return to us.

Thank you - I really appreciate the kind words. Unfortunately I am going to be a bit delayed going to hospital as there have been a lot of visitors falling off the cliffs here in Cornwall this season (that's the tourist season not "The falling off cliffs in Cornwall Season") and they all get taken to the unit in Plymouth hospital where I am going so everytime there is an emaergency the "routine" operations get put back. Never mind, my turn will come

So even more fall off during Falling Off Cliffs in Cornwall Season?

Oh Yes, some of them actually jump. Seriously they call it "Tombstoning" That's jumping off the granite clifss into the sea without knowing what lies just below the surface, usually more rocks.

Hmmm. Here in the States we call it suicide.

Sorry to come back on this one but thought someone might find this interesting. In my newspaper today was this article:

Really does make you wonder, doesn't it

Nice health care system over there, I'd say let the fish have the tombstoners. That would free up space..

I would normally rush to the defence of our care system but at the moment this is much too sensitive a subject to discuss here, I think. Discretion being the better part of valour. Anyway I am off to the Hospital this week all being well.

I would wish you that old Theatre good luck wish "Break a leg!" but in the circumstances, I think not!!!
