Hey everyone just a quick introduction to the episode

So I got about halfway through recording this and my audio interface which without getting too technical that's basically

the heart of my recording setup just completely died

just completely crap the bed so I've had to resort to recording this on my camera because it's the second best

microphone that I've got and it's the only way I can think of recording like

decent-ish audio that hopefully I can work with and get some decent audio out. On a plus side it means if you're a

patron member you've got a patron video because I may as well stick the video up

since I'm recording it.

But yeah, otherwise hopefully say the audio quality will be decent.

If it wasn't Christmas, I may have been able to get this out, you know, may have been able to replace it, but obviously it being Christmas and stuff there's nothing I can really do this side of Christmas in terms of replacing my equipment until, yeah, after Christmas.

So, you know, we make the best of the tools we've got, right?

So, yeah, this episode, hopefully the audio quality will be good enough for you.

I'll do the best I can with, say, the tools I've got until after Christmas and I can work out some sort of replacement.

But yeah, anyway, thanks for listening. I hope you enjoy it.

Hopefully the audio is still good enough for you.

Cheers.

The days begin to draw in more perceptibly than ever.

Now that the archdeaconry papers are reduced to order, I must find some

further employment for the evening hours of autumn and winter. It's a great blow that

the Titia's health will not allow her to stay below these months. Why not go on with my

defense of episcopacy it may be useful. September 15th Lotticia has left me for Brighton.
