The mystery object is a collapsable, wood fuel, camping stove.One puts leaves, sticks and any other combustable materials in the large hole, and then light the stove. Pans or kettles (billy cans) then sit on top. I'm told they can produce a lot of heat.I intend to take a small amount of kindling with me on camping trips, and then collect some more fuel at my campsite.I intend to make a video of the device in operation. Watch this space.

@sajith Yes.I'm going to make a video, showing the device in use. That might give you an impression of the practicality of the stove. It only cost £21, and yet it is made of fairly sturdy stainless steel.So, have you moved elsewhere, or are you living illegally in the US?

This isn't working out well. There are lots of things I find frustrating with Openshot. Firstly, I can't find a way to position clips by entering the time, it seems it has to be done by dragging them using the mouse (trackpad).Secondly, one of the features I really wanted to use, varying the video speed, doesn't seem to work. Instead of 2x or 4x speed, the video freezes then jumps to a new position in the timeline. Grrr!Two hours was wildly optimistic.

@fitheach I guess I don't dislike all cities. I am in Quebec City as we speak. This is a very lovely city!Great architecture, great natural surroundings. Life here seems to be unhurried, although that may be because of the plague and end of the tourist season. People here are friendly, unlike grumpy uppity Toronto people. I wish I was fluent in French.
