MANCHESTER HOLDS IT'S OWN

My first full day out since the knee replacement and I must admit I'm a bit tired but i think we did very well, just a bit of help from Phil, Richard and Paula on the next stand putting everything up first thing and we managed everything taken down and packed ourselves albeit quite slowly. This has given us confidence for the Gaydon truck do and Dublin which occur this month. I'm mindful to call off the launch of the Hardy family bench as hardly anyone is free to come along and it would be easier on a weekday. Hopefully once I've seen Proj Jari next Thursday I may get the go ahead to start doing a little bit of filming, I was pretty good today and sat through most of it with no photography at all. The weather was dry and sunny but with an icy cold wind cutting through us.

All sees quiet on the net this afternoon which is fine, we did almost the same business at Heaton Park this year as last year which under the circumstances was very acceptable, I didn't even take any photos along. Mandy has a couple of people asking about her hand bags on EBay so lets hope they provoke some interest. I had a bit of a rough night again last night with a few hours watching the ipad with Youtube clips etc. I don't think I'll have much time for editing this evening when I do I'm on the German tram archives and covering 1996/97. There are still a good few volumes to go on that particular venture. It was great seeing so many people at Heaton Park and so much concern over the knee and progress to date, when I did the yomp to the cafe loos it took ages stopping for chats all the time.

I'll try and give myself some targets for tomorrow, its a busy week though but I hope to get all the pre op photos finished off ready to file and load on Smugmug site for sale from just 50p. Remember folks that our EBay site is only a small selection of our DVD range although its there we have the occasional sales. The shop is on this Weebly hosted site and the Amazon shop also has everything should you wish to pay out on postage and why would you, our shop is powered by Paypal. I'll get some more items description on our shop and perhaps finish the latest German DVD. I could do with making a start on all the hundreds of rolls of cine film I have stashed away before the worst ones go to ruin as they fade so bad sometimes. Some past Manchester events in photos
