Liverpool a Sea Odyssey and more.

Today has been a good day and it started when i got up late. Normally i would have my laptop on and would have had a call from Chelsee. Today Chelsee called me but i was out so she had to wait till i got home. As usual Chelsee was doing extra homework and wanted my help. Chelsee was doing a story on the Sea Odyssey that has been going on this weekend and she wanted some pictures. I found some video of the same subject that was taken in 2010 in Chile so i took copies for Chelsee for her homework.

 In 2008 for the Capital of Culture Liverpool had a Giant Spider visit and now a Giant Little Girl.

Cut and paste the link below and on the BBC site their is some video of the event.

Just what every Little girls need an Ice Lolly.

Out for a stroll on the Famous Lime st, Liverpool

Chelsee is able to do so much on her computer for one so young and she just wats to learn more. The next thing we are going to do is start to edit photos. I made sure that her mum knows that we have to download a program to do the editing. I use a program called GIMP. Gimp is as good as Photoshop and there are addons to make it do almost everything that Photoshop can do. Gimp is free to download and is very powerful

First we have to download Gimp but remember that i am in Portugal and Chelsee is in Liverpool. What i often do is use an external web cam so i can point it at the screen to show Chelsee what we are trying to do. As you can see from the picture above and below one is cut from another. Easy you may say and for me it was but i am going to work remotely over the internet using Skype to teach Chelsee so she can do this and more.

I look forward to the coming weeks to being able to have Chelsee take photos, editing them and sending them to me so i can put them on this Post.
