 The new 400' reel cine scanner arrived today one of the first in use in UK although I probably won't try it until tomorrow afternoon. It has been rather hectic with me tackling several jobs on the list. The downstairs loo got its coat of gold on one wall, a pig to apply so Mandy went and got a couple of small rollers. We re did it with them later in the day and it looks quite nice now, I remember doing a fireplace gold many years ago it was a pig to put on then, nothing has changed. I fitted the drain brackets to the porch, something that the tradesmen should have done themselves, quick enough to grab the money! I've pruned the climbing roses as most flowers were over and it was full of black spot. Also a good clearing up of the paths and mowed the lawns. The recycle bin is well full. I also tidied up around the shed patio area, the Jasmine shrub is full of flowers but even this needed tidying up a bit. The new scanner arrived mid afternoon with the post man, the box also contained so washing stuff for Mandy's side of control. Somewhere between those jobs I managed to get some more digital downloads on to the PMP shop and also scanned the 200' reels from Roger de Boer's collection of cine I picked up last week. The new machine will be able to handle the large 400' reels which are the most common we get. It includes Birmingham in the 1960s, some pleasant shots amongst the pack with milk floats dotted in here and there, the 1977 silver jubilee procession including buses and a milk float also feature.
