MOST OF THE MARCH ASIA TRIP IS NOW CONFIRMED

It was the usual hectic day but not until we had had a bit of a lay in following a late night back from Clonter opera competition and then a catch up of tv albeit I had to mess with the router to get catch up, almost every time we use it something goes wrong. It was easier in the old days with the VHS recorder. The weather went really cold when we got back last night, down to nearly minus five. Today after going to St Oswalds I started on the rest of the Asia trip arrangements which took me the whole afternoon but it is nearly all ready and was quite a feat really as so much is not that readily available on the net but i found a really useful site which gave the Philippines railway info in full, all three current routes. It seems they have abandoned their BRT plan so jeepneys it remains, the docks seem close enough to where we stay.

After that marathon session I got the DVD orders ready, there weren't lots but several were for substantial multiple numbers but thankfully all were ready in the folders printed up and ditto the covers so Mandy will pack and send them off in the morning. The weather looks very unsettled for the coming week, I may well get Huddersfield covered tomorrow but Tuesday I'm at Shrewsbury with the deposit and hopefully borrowing of cine films. I'm still thinking about the Rochdale and Canterbury Bus Spot Ultra productions, perhaps I'll start consolidating my thoughts later after Sunday dinner. The quality of the food at Clonter last night had vastly improved on the previous caterer but still ended up with 2 minutes to drink coffee before the results session. Lets have a look at Rochdale in recent visits
