PRODUCTIVE BREAKS IN THE RAIN

It threw it down all night, I woke early with pains in the muscles in my leg, nothing new there so I took a tramadol and tried to get back to sleep but it wasn't going to happen so I showered and started o with the things left over, the last of the orders which had come in during the evening and everything was ready for the post albeit three hours distant. I got a lot more photos trimmed up ready to file and put on our Smugmug site where you can purchase prints from just 50p each. The big job of the day was to sort through all the reels of cine film and divide them into 16mm, 9.5, super and standard 8 which I did and other than the 16mm the rest are in the garage for a bruief time while I get started coptying them and reselling on ebay. Its been a lot quieter than the past few days and I could do with relaxing as the knee is very swollen.

After the post office I went to Ellesmere Port where I used to have my office and got my hair cut, the younger lass there is worried about the government and pervs at the council spying on her via her mobile when she comes out of the shower, I wonder if the Cameroons are aware of the discord amongst the 'ordinary' folk over spying on our web activities. They wouldn't get much out of my mobile though.Then I went to drop off a memory stick at ASDA photo shop and met one of the lovely ladies who sort the prints out for me, I'll pick them up before Boyle St sale in December. There must be thousands which haven't ever been printed all Manchester area. Then I got a sack of reduced price bird nuts and headed on the Marks and checked my balance, pension had gone in and got a couple of cakes and a hot pudding for the weekend. Then headed back on the M56 where the temp was up to 18C, it hadn't rained for quite a while and I decided to stop at Lymm Poplar truck stop and rattle off an hours film, it was well before lunch and I guess at peak, trucks were in and out endlessly.

When I got home it started ti throw it down for the rest of the day, I edited the film, put the unwanted cine in the garage and had a bit of a rest, Mandy phoned at tea time as shew was going out later. Last night i had a lengthy Skype with Max in New Zealand. Photos taken on the video camera while I was actually filming, clever beasts aren't they - as the still camera battery was out of juice and I didn't want the walk back to the car.
