A SLIGHT CHANGE OF PLAN TRUCKS REPLACED BUSES

The forecast last night showed a high probability that it would end up with bright sunshine rather than the original cloud so I decided to scrap the bus film in the Potteries and get our first trucking film of the year done just down the road on the A50 west bound. The sun indeed did shine all day, we got the DVD orders done which had come in late then there were more on the phone. Any thoughts that it had gone quiet were then dispelled as the table is full of DVDs to get out for Saturday morning. It was a great visit on the spur of the moment, I had hoped to have a bash with the window bracket filming trucks to our rear on the motorway but I'd reckoned without the curve on the glass of the window which left it looking up at the sky. I'll take a look at the A frames although I don't need anything complicated, what I had would have worked if it had an adjustable head to keep it horizontal. I do have some old tripods which might give me enough to bodge something up, a job for tomorrow. I'm not sure what is happening in the world outside, what with Trump and May I just keep my head down, add this to coming out of the EU and the world just seems to have got sadder, more divided than ever and the lunatics really have taken over the asylum.I need to get the settings on my still camera sorted, I can't help but feel that the white balance is adrift but touch one thing on it and everything else goes to pieces.

I managed to get our noise killing head sets working, it turned out that you needed to charge them up first before they would operate, I didn't even know they did charge or need charging, nowt in the Chinese instructions which mentioned it at all. I'm working my way through filing the photos, I'll spend a bit of time over the weekend catching up, I do want to get a bit of time in the garden as well - now the recyclable garden bin is being emptied I can have another round of tidying up the back borders, I do wish that next door would get the fence panels sorted but they don't even seem to bother about bringing the bins in for days so not holding out great hopes, I'll just have to say something. I've a couple of DVD covers, three in fact to get made and listed on the shop, the jobs just pile up. I've cancelled the Trident hotel in Mumbai as the Oberoi has fallen in price a bit and the Trident didn't even respond when I asked them to arrange a pick up from the airport, I'm hoping that our visas will come through next week, the system has collapsed, the joys of Indian IT expertise and going digital on the visa process. I think I'm due to give you a photo selection from Derby, here we go.
