BACK DAY THREE HURTS COLD TURKEY NOW

Having survived the first couple of days since putting my back out with plenty of pain relief I decided that I really wasn't that safe driving to work with all that medication so I'm down to just the anti inflammatories which I take for my knee anyway and covers my back as well. Its more aches and pains now, at least it hasn't gone into a mad spasm and left me bent double although any slight jarring sends shivers through my spine so being a bit careful although I'm now quite tired. The weather has been at its early autumn late summer bust and well into the 20s with clear blue skies. So much to do my head spins but after looking after the office from a distance today I should be OK to get to the office tomorrow even though its diet days I take the pills straight after eating our fruit and I've now got the ones to stop the indigestion starting. I'm busy editing the Hereford and Worcester archives, I've finished 1997-98 which really give some superb shots of the diverse independents which could still be found especially in Hereford. I'm also working on the next volume, probably just the two albeit very long running ones. There was a small flurry of EBay orders today with the latest sale, I went on to Amazon to put the photos on the new items I'd added but they don't appear, I went through something like this last time, they have loaded with no problem then just vanished.

I've also got a lot to load on EBay but not tonight. I'm sorting out a handful of the Irish shots each evening, there are some super shots and lots of memories of days spent roaming the length and breadth of Ireland looking for the elusive handful of buses which I hadn't covered, mainly yellow school bus fleet which was mainly E Types at that stage. What a treat the enthusiasts in Dublin are going to have at the Dublin Port Rally. Mandy did the figures on Heaton Park, it was just a little down on last year which in the circumstances this year is almost encouraging. I've got the results of my truck filming down in the South West to get edited later this week featuring stops at Ross, Monmouth and Avonmouth docks. Superb weather for it , cloudless blue sky most of the time and an enormous variety of operators even a couple of pain jobs. Don't we have some wonderful liveries on the lorries, some of the best decorated this side of Pakistan. I hope the weather doesn't last too long as it is sure to break just before Showbus, I'd rather it go downhill now and then recover again. We've got slot A4 at Duxford so really easy to find us in the post where were have been for the past few years near the control and American hangar/toilets etc. Some shots from the Avonmouth trip to keep you truckers happy! The photo upload doesn't seem to be working I'll try again later
