My favourite of yesterdays living statues was Whiskers. I spent a lot of the morning learning how to edit video, and here’s the result.
Living Statues
This morning, Santa Cruz played host to a competition for living statues.If you haven’t seen these before. they stand completely still until you put some money in the container, and then they perform.

But so far I can’t find out how to have a different header for the first page of a document, which is rather important for fiction submissions. Tomorrow I hope to re-install Photoshop.
