The White Hart 3.57 real ale pub bar booze garden courtyard smoking child friendly restaurant food closed jeans for all mankind hythe red lion white hart three mariners video key west wedding kevin guiselle :: [comment] :: [delete]

Had a slightly rum Saturday night out but then a lovely Sunday afternoon to follow. Felt a bit queasy on Saturday so although we went out to Folkestone in the day, and had lunch at The Whole World Cafe (felty queasy before we went there, certainly not their fault), and then out again in the evening to Hythe, I came home early and left Clare out with friends. Picked up a bit when I got home, and finally got all my wedding video DVD plans in place, foudn some software that will burn to DVD for free, without putting a cheeky watermark encouraging me to pay money. Just could not get DVDStyler working this time, so no menus or anything, but I think I know what I'm doing now.

Here's some video, a short snippet of wedding footage, that I was using to test the DVDness. Not sure it really gives much idea of how lovely everything was, but have a look anyway:

Sunday I was feeling much better again, we went out for the afternoon in Hythe. First the all new Red Lion - it really is nice now, but they were CLOSED on a hot Sunday afternoon. And they have a huge garden, madness. Next The Three Mariners, lovely again, bit quiet / local though maybe. Final stop The White Hart on the high street, sat in their courtyard garden, smashing, two thumbs up for them. Home in time to watch this week's Lost, seems to me to be all change again in their back story, hmm.

DB2 training for me yesterday and today, first bit of training I've done for years!

Oh, the new jeans; Clare was after some For All Mankind jeans in the americas; they're hundreds of pounds here and should be half price there. Key West is expensive, which mostly negated any savings. If she will take a chance on a pair of ebay, they're WELL CHEAP. Possibly a gamble, might end up with a fake pair, but we'll see. I've put the jeans over there in the side bar, check them out -->

No it's not trampy and dirty buying things like this second hand. We might even wash them before wearing them. Next stop some new(ish) underwear for me...

Beer: not bad

My homebrew was not bad at all, not 100% clear, but brown and smelled and tasted of beer, so can't complain. Was a little bit malty for my taste, but I can fis that when I start on a proper recipe and really mess things up.

All in all had a very nice weekend, we went to Escondido for lunch, and did afternoon drinking in The Ship, and browsing of antique shops and then off for a full evening of boozing it up. We took in The Harbour, and The Burstin just to see what it was like - madly busy, with visiting coach parties from around the country. The place was actually packed out, and had the odd atmosphere of a holiday camp. then we finished off at The Ship, the other one, in the harbour.
I think I finally had some success with DVD burning, which I've been struggling with for ages to get it working without actually having to buy any software. I have a load of things as AVIs that are fine for me (my DVD player plays data discs), but I want other people to be able to watch on a regular DVD player. I think I've finally got it sorted with a combo of bits of software, all of which met my requirements of being free, and legit, and not a trial only version or any crippleware... I'm now using something called Super to convert AVI to VOB, then /> DVD Styler to make menus and save as an ISO, and then cd burner x pro to burn the iso to a disk.

Can't find the proper link to Super right now, but it is French and their site is rubbish. I think I can get away with converting AVI to MPEG using any other software now I come to think of it, I just need a bit more experimenting.

I can't believe it's taken me so long to get things sorted though, what does everyone else use? I mean to make proper DVD's with menus and things.
