Yes nearly 100000 pictures on our Flickr subscription service this is just the first of the benefits coming from the 'Friends of PMP' service. Watch out as it is rolled out. This picture is from the 2011 Uruguay visit. Although lots of old British lorries and vans British buses were thinner on the ground by then.

I managed to get the second coat on the paths and drives and also went to do some shopping so we don't have to venture out over the bank holiday weekend. Weather dependent I may go to Wythall on Monday. Next week much is taken up with appointments, dentist to have implant op and new doctors medical  plus getting the outside area at Charleywood Rd Kirkby ready for our running day next week Sunday. I'm getting close to the 100k photos on our new Flickr site so launch gets close. Meanwhile some photos I'd not looked at for a while until creating the subscription site. Two of my favourite truck places were Myanmar and Uruguay. These are in Uruguay 2011

I'm edging nearer to the launch of our Flckr site, as soon as it hits 100k photos I'll start promoting it , the 'friends' of PMP will also have other advantages via Youtube as well as access to our photos . After attending a violin masterclass at the RNCM we called in at the Southern cemetery in Manchester to make sure the summer bedding was doing ok in the drought.

The weather wasn't anything like the forecast last night on the BBC either  after news or computer. Instead of clear blue sky with some clouds over lunch time it was light cloud all morning then cleared to bright sunny sky.Staffordshire seems from the water on the A50 to have had yet another sprinkling while we have had nothing since the drought started but I guess that will change over the bank holiday weekend.

The weather held out after a risky start to a day which at first looked like rain then ended the same but apart from 6 raindrops all came to nothing and the job got done. A little extra required in places but lots of the treatment left over so I'll just wait for the next dry day. I made progress with the films, all the covers are done up to date. Getting the actual editing done and through to DVD and Youtube/Facebook copies created takes a lot of time up. Here are the latest batch of films which will appear on the PMP shop shortly. A delay in sending packages as the village post office are having a new computer but they can't find the connection, Lawrence before selling had new units put in which somewhere hide all the cabling so the whole connection has to be recreated or rip out all the fittings until they find it, rewire wins handsdown. Should all be ok tomorrow, single and double orders all went out as we have stamps for them.

There were lots of clouds about but no rain, hoping it stays that way tomorrow as I start the paths and drives treatment with Swiss Seal, a lot of money but it comes out well, bought a new soft broom to spread it, I found rollers useless and they usually break so a tub and a broom. I then got back into editing although we do have a large number of film orders to clear. I've got Brooklands and Kingston upon Thames ready so here they are.

What a busy week, when I got back from Morecambe I finished getting the paths clean with jet wash ready for new surface treatment which I'll pick up from Garstang in the morning after my IQ car service.

Hard at work getting ready to resurface the drives and paths at home, more work to be done Sunday when I get back from Morecambe. I hope it is warmer tomorrow, I was frozen at Quorn but just down the A50 it was 20deg. Great running day at Quorn, next time I'll be able to plan ahead a bit more, great variety of buses many of which I've never seen before or not for a long time.

When I have passed the 100k mark roughly balanced between truck and public transport images I'll go live with the new venture. Passing through the files I often gravitate to some of my favourite locations many of which we polished off just in the nick of time. Here are a few survivors seen on the 2011 Uruguay trip

Well overdue our once annual trip along the North Wales coast was completed in slightly chilly breezy weather but cloudless with a blue sky. Lots of things have changed and the lack of buses is relentless and getting worse but always good to see new vehicles albeit through government subsidies.
