A busy couple of days seem to have flown by, I finally managed to get the Bus Spot Ultra Wrexham out of the way although as yet I've not done the DVD cover. Problems with the focus on the video camera at Stoke so some replacement footage required to complete, perhaps Saturday if suitable weather. The truck trip to Middlewich just down the road produced some good footage but I was interrupted by phone calls when going to download and ended up wiping out all the shots so nothing to show for it. Hopefully with suitable weather next week we shall be able to get some lorry film done. I had to get a new tyre fitted at Northwich, while they were bringing the car to the ramp area I noticed that the offside headlamp wasn't working, I got that fixed at Halfords, really helpful so full marks all round. I nearly lost my microphone wind jammer and sock in Leeds, when I got to my desired spot to start I noticed I'd lost them, retraced my steps to the Victoria centre where I'd parked and then to the toilet which I'd used, just then a cleaner with her cart was passing, excuse me, you haven't seen a sort of little furry thing with foam inside, yes, she produced it from the detritus. Thankfully the days filming saved and so was a great expense as the parts for micro sized mikes comes expensive. I've now ordered a second cine scanner as two at a time will get through my backlog much more simply. The films to take back to Peter at the OTA archive are all done. Anyway the chap to rebuild our sofa came and I got home from Leeds as he arrived, before the Northwich car jobs. All sorted out, better keep what we have and like but recovered and springs and cushions sorted, not cheap but it works well for us. Its pub night at The Crown, I think we won the draw this week, fingers crossed. Photos from Middlewich sans video and Leeds with lots of buses, roadworks all over the place, a big bang job getting a lot done at the same time, must have money to burn in Leeds. What about Boris, half a million to sound the Big Ben bell when we leave the EU, couldn't anyone find something more worthwhile than that. Comments are closed.
