Pretty well spinning around in circles after an extremely hectic day at work, the doctor phoned me back about the anti inflammatories and gastric pills but I missed him as he was going to phone yesterday, rang back and added the anti malaria pills for Sri Lankan trip to the list to be sorted. Mandy is bang up to date with the DVD orders and i managed to get the first of the Shropshire archives which is 90 minutes long finished ready to burn the master which i would have done this evening if we weren't heading to Manchester to meet up with my old friend Tony at Southern Cemetery on local and family history matters plus Tony has some old copies of Catonsville roadrunner magazine for me, it was a pity that Tony had disposed of a lot of archive copies as they are now fetching quite a price, typical publications from those heady flower power days in the early 70s and highly collectable now and widespread in prestigious libraries, who would ever have thought that then. Yes back in the day was a great place to be but the pace of life is faster now than ever and I don't think that many of our heroic efforts to change society came to much other than the fact that a woman can now get a pint in a Manchester pub, that's one of my main achievements not much of an epitaph unless you are a CAMRA campaigner. I got the latest Southdown model Atlantean from EFE today, looks fine, they can't go wrong with Southdown but I wish someone would do East Lancs bodies and open up Eastbourne buses for my collection, a nice Leyland, AEC, Crossley etc would be fine 50s or 60s whatever. Mandy's new super light sporty wheelchair is being collected Thursday next week, they'll make sure everything is set correctly, we'll have that for France which will save Mandy from long periods standing or enable her to look around more comfortably, it will of course take time to get used to. The van is now fixed at the Volkswagen dealers in Manchester, Trafford Park, Mandy ill pick it up at 7.30 tomorrow morning, I'll drop her there and then head off back down the M56 motorway to Ellesmere Port and crack on with the changes to the new training courses we've instigated today and sorting out training bookings for next week. Its a bank holiday day here on Monday, weather for that looks pretty grim, not bad in Sri Lanka except the thunder and lightning showers now and then. I'm still hoping for another few hints on the Japanese material, this is the one I'm most stuck on any suggestions? Comments are closed.
