Thanks for the contact details for Hensel Producations, particularly Bev for
the email address.
I've emailed and now wait to see how I'll buy it. Need something to cheer me
up as I'm currently in my second RA flare-up in four weeks with three
useless, fat, painful fingers on my right hand and two on my left. This is
where my lace DVDs are really useful in lifting my spirits. I can't make
lace, but I can watch it being made. No matter how often I watch them, I
always spot something in them that I haven't noticed before as there's such
a lot of information in each to take in.
DH bought me an MP3 player, and it's also very useful for times like this. I
can't hold a book at the moment, so I've put some of my audio books (ranging
fom classics like David Copperfield, through Agatha Christie and Colin
Dexter to modern authors like Lynda La Plante) on it and can listen to them
when my brain gets clogged and not able to take in any more info from the
lace DVDs. He thought I'd put music on it, but I don't listen to that much
music. It hadn't occurred to him that, with the right computer software
which we already have, whatever's on analogue tape or CD can be converted to
.mp3 or .wav formats, and that it doesn't have to be music.
I wonder if this might be an idea for the translation of lace books, or
parts of them. When someone asks for a translation, it must be quicker for
the person translating to say the words and record them rather than type
them. Then perhaps they could be made available for download from some kind
person's we site. On the other hand, it might not be so easy for reading and
using the translation as from the printed word.
