HARD WORK A LOT OF SWEAT CONCRETE SEALANT DONE

Hot and sticky for manual work I was dripping so much I was worried about the water falling on the applied sealant. Anyway we battled through and other than the vehicles which can go back on tomorrow the job is complete except for a few splashes on the kitchen door exterior which need removing. We ended up mid afternoon exhausted and had a sit on our bench and enjoyed the bright hot sunshine which although only 24 seemed much hotter. I managed to get the DVD for Colchester completed and a clip on Youtube. That leaves Grays and Romford which I hope to have done tomorrow. I also finished a very difficult cine scan , I hadn't noticed it was wound incorrectly and made the situation worse but got there in the end, it looks like they were the gentlemans last films and perhaps just compiled together and never even watched but although quite late at 1987 they are in some ways as interesting as those of 1958 I was copying last week. Anyway other jobs were shopping at M&S near Manchester airport and then trying to reinvest a matured ISA which I did in 2 minutes last time just weeks ago and today with a misery at the other end trying to get Mandy's identical account transferred. I guess they like it just sitting in an account that they have the benefit of holding. Tonights slide show is at Romford this week.

Next week I hope to find somewhere to film lorries Monday or Tuesday, then we go down to Hampshire Thursday and return Monday evening. Objectives along the way Portsmouth, Fareham,Southampton, Bournemouth, Poole perhaps even Weymouth.

A few of you might be aware of coach operator protest Honk for Hope, I saw that Hams of Flimwell were on local radio this morning, I wonder if they told everyone about the driver who gave me a thousand one finger gestures and speculation as to what is is that Hams are doing. If that's what they do to an elderly smiling waving bystander perhaps they will be lucky if they do ever get coach work again

The last time I had a reaction like that in Tunbridge Wells was about 20 years ago when my pal John was still a serving detective. I heard later that there were people running around delivering drugs via a small deregulation era bus company.
