Same here. In 20 years time if I reach 103 I probably won't have any left.
For London the geomag site says 1° 7' E.
A big difference to NZ. Maybe the earth's central core gets in the way?
According to what I read the variation can differ around our planet due to local conditions.
I found this site https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/geomag/declination.shtml
Using it to check Auckland it shows our city centre had on 17 September 2025 a variation of 20° 16' E ± 0° 20' changing by 0° 4' E per year.
So my 20 degrees was spot on.

Setting fire to the fry pan is not something I'd do.
Thanks Paul. Looks complicated and dangerous! I eat my bananas raw.
In NZ we are permanently on plus 30 minutes to what we should be in relation to our position on the planet. In summer with Summer Time this becomes 90 minutes. Personally I'd like us to go to plus 60 minutes all year and not muck around altering clocks every six months.
Going OT - have you ever noticed how much magnetic north differs from true north. Apparently the difference varies around the world. It's approximately 20 degrees difference here.
Sorting out videos to take to my monthly video group meeting I decided on this one https://vimeo.com/226253027 for next meeting. Titled "My Alphabet Garden" it's eight years old and I've probably posted it before.
With spring (for me) approaching it's appropriate. Nowadays I don't have a garden to look after but there's plenty around me attended to by my retirement village gardeners.
It now says 1,001 at 10.08 am GMT 14/9/2025.
Yes I'm still here. It's late winter coming into spring.
With MVPX5 try using HSL video FX and animate the Hue from - (minus) 100% to 100%.

Thanks Gordon. Among the vehicles I noticed a blue Morris 1000 Traveler with woodwork just like I had many years ago in UK. Back in the days engines faced north/south and had a hole in front for a starting handle, so useful in freezing conditions and when batteries were low.
Thanks Gordon. Graveyards always fascinate me. My parents were cremated at Barham Crematorium in Kent. I've never visited there and now in my very senior years am unlikely to ever do so.
I cannot recall if I've ever posted this https://youtu.be/ay9aPPY1K7g Only five minutes long called "At Peace". It's a cemetery visit made eight years ago. How time flies. My friend that drove me around passed away last year in her 90s so is now there with her late husband both "in peace".
Thanks Alfred. I don't recall him from the old Serif forums and as Serif buried their forums years ago I'm unable to look back. I rarely visit the Affinity forums as I don't have any Affinity products.
From memory those unlocked codecs will automatically lock 30 days after installation.
Thanks Gordon, well done.
How's the temperature where you are? Seeing reports of heatwaves in Southern Europe.
Thanks Gordon. I remember the first two. Abandoned buildings is ghost-like. Possibly some interesting stories hidden here. With the last video the buildings look unfinished but then maybe the missing fittings were subsequently removed by scavengers/recyclers.

Find out why Jill was smiling, it may surprise you!!
Thanks Albert. Jill appears to be getting very close and personal with the orangutan. I wonder if it reminded her of someone?
Thanks Albert, I'll have to be content with just a few seconds. Did I hear "A Whiter Shade of Pale" without the lyrics as background for the White Garden?

Thanks Albert. Next time could you please take us to the top to show the view. Obviously one is allowed up there but as it's unlikely to have a lift it will depend on whether you can handle the stairs.
Thanks Gordon. Oh to be young and still have energy!
Albert Ross wrote:I have another video for you all, it's quite embarrassing to say that it is yet another one of the gardens at good 'ole Hyde Hall in Essex. https://youtu.be/NpoxlvmXjnY
Thanks Albert. You coped well with what looked like windy conditions. Some great floral shots helped by overcast conditions giving nice light without your camera having to cope with the harsh contrasts of a sunny day.
Thanks Gordon. I've possibly asked you this before, but are your local bar customers Spanish locals or Brit "refugees" like yourselves?
It's quiet here so perhaps time to replay some old videos. Like this one https://vimeo.com/423408318 to remind us of five years ago. We'd started to forget but then the world is in another mess right now with wars and troubling leaders. Plus a nasty plane crash in India a few hours ago.
