LOOKING FORWARDS TO NEW YEAR

Next in the Bus Stop Ultra range will be one on Liverpool following our release of the Newcastle 120min epic which I finished editing this afternoon. We have our friend Sue staying tonight then she goes home ready to see the New Year in up in Scotland while we await the arrival of my sister Yvonne tomorrow evening, they return south in New Years day. This morning we had a sprinkling of snow which hardly covered the grass but was slow to thaw even in the sun. It will be a pleasure to get back to normal and resume filming next week. We have lots of important locations which will come on to our to do lists. We had spag bog for dinner then Mandy's brilliant rice pudding and some fudge later on. I've put more trailers for the Newcastle film on Youtube. Although it brings in a worthwhile income some of the people who are watching for free and never buy a DVD still make inane comments which get deleted. The Youtube viewing is starting to climb again after the Christmas dip but record breaking all the same.

It looks as if it will be another chilling night , this afternoon we booked a trip for Mandy and Sue to Sri Lanka for 13 nights at £800 a piece including flights which I thought was very reasonable. That will be after the half term holiday and after my trip to Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia. I must get a spreadsheet done so I can keep track of the timings. I think we can put away the crackers now for another year, the electric blankets can have a few minutes before bedtime tonight. I would like to get some tidying done in the garden and even mow the front lawn but its so wet all the time. I'll probably start putting together the ingredients for the Liverpool DVD tomorrow, it takes a couple of days to get onme done, not too difficult as I've got a database of film locations and I can download from the DVDs for more recent digitally sourced films or of course go back to the masters all filed on external drives, I think I've now filled 5No  2 or 3 terra drives. Well goodnight for now, keep warm, stay safe on the roads and pavements. What can I bring you tonight, lets have some trucks eh, lucky dip.
