LOOKING BACK AT A VERY HECTIC HOT SUNNY WEEKEND

t isn't often that everything comes together as a plan and the sky is cloudless with temperatures climbing each day but thus was it at Llandudno and Truckfest this bank holiday and we have already edited all three of the DVDs on Llandudno and the first of four on Truckfest is burning now. As I say there wasn't a cloud in the sky but at Llandudno there was a cloud or two in the sea as mist built up with the difference between land and sea temperatures. It was two very long days and of course quirte stressful with my double vision and my sciatic pain in my right leg for which I visit the physio at the health centre tomorrow hoping he can come up with some exercises as simple as those which got rid of my neck pain. My back is almost constantly sore at the moment, the leg comes and goes. I've had a busy catch up day, getting train tickets fior my excursion in Russia from Moscow to Kolumna and Ryazan and tickets for the 1st July from Kiev to Odesa.

The low points at Truckfest were the youngsters hiring mobility scooters to dart around the site, security picked them up and threatened eviction. At the end I was at the exit as usual but on the grassy bank where the photographers stand there was a group of noisy young people making life a misery for all us old regulars.Llandudno was a case of the family keeping the tradition going and I'm sure it was a bumper weekend, the traffic was so bad on the A55 coming home that I had to cut up to the old coastal route via Flint and Queensferry. The road back from Truckfest was fine. With it being so sunny I decided to use my standby spot which only gets half thwe trucks but less was more and without the noisy nuisance brats.Today I managed to mow the lawns, feed the plants, slug pellet application, rose treatments etc then helped Mandy change the bed linen, booked some concerts and paid the consultant eye chap the excess on my BUPA claim. All the DVD orders went out as planned. The weather is now cloudy and cool, the big sweat was short lived. I might as well start at the end and work backwards, why not! So Truckfest yesterday.
