LOADING VAN READY FOR DETLING RALLY IN APRIL

A monstrously busy day, I got all the DVD orders ready, quite a pile, I'll have to take them out with me tomorrow and then try to be back in time to process them at the village shop / post office. I got the bulk of the 8mm cine film copies, just half a dozen small 200' reels to go then I can start putting them through the computer and digitise plus load to shop and Youtube plus an external drive for those to OTA. I got the DVD stock boxes sorted so that I've extracted the truck films, there is little point in taking them to the bus rallies and they sell slowly if at all at truck events, most seem to like them by post, That means I can take more of the bus, tram and trolley DVDs. We shall still be at some truck events though with stands at Gaydon and Kelsall at least. I've down loaded the Gaydon form, risk assessments etc so I'd better do it before I leave for Asia.

I've been emailing with China John and he realises time is short so we are skipping the Chinese banquet for McDonalds or such like, I can have a coffee and ice cream, even their cakes aren't too bad. I usually have coffee at Starbucks near Admiralty on the island.  I just want to get the prep for my return done then I'll start printing out maps, too old for all this telephone messing. I've cleared out the old shed although no sign of builders ever coming back to me on the garage conversion but we still have one who specialises coming next week. Mandy will be home tomorrow evening, just got my dinner in the oven then I can resume copying the cine and then pack everything away before Mandy's back. Getting the DVDs to fill stock in for the sales is another job, the work getting the truck ones just cleared space and freed up boxes but at least I don't have to do the lorry films now. Actually we've a lot of 'sale' stock which could be integrated. Here are the covers for all the recent releases all on the shop as DVDs last three need to be put up as digital downloads.
