I went to Ellesmere Port to drop off the log book for Mandys old car with it's 'new' reg after transferring the cherished plate. The queue for the outlet centre was a mile back on the motorway so I went straight to the town centre, stopping to get some car washing kit etc at Halfords, the little IQ is desperate for a clean. Then I had to grit my teeth and put up with a 15minute wait to get round the roundabout to the Honda garage, albeit the traffic was all turning the other way nobody was giving an inch. Battled my way back to the motorway home, stopped and filled up and then back home as it was still sunny and the ice had melted a bit ( -5 this morning) I got on with clearing the back garden borders. I eventually filled the recycle bins and my hands were frozen so tidied up and retreated inside for a cuppa. Then I switched over to editing and still on with it at nearly 7pm but the end is in sight, should have it wrapped up tomorrow. I used the perspex scratch repair kit to remove a few scratches on the cabinet doors, sustained on the last but most difficult section, it seems to have done the trick. Once that is finished I can get the three Carlisle truck DVDs edited. I've looked at the weather again for filming next week, changing a bit but still looking good for a few locations but not the North East. So more shots from Carlisle on Friday.
I think I must have been overtired in the end after getting up smartish and having three hours at Carlisle on the back of an early start on Thursday when Mandy set off to Ireland. I really struggled with getting the archive section of Edinburgh Bus Spot Ultra downloaded and on to the editing machine. I tried over and over again until late, eventually after giving up well actually finding a work around I went to bed and in the morning it all became obvious and worked straight away. I got some domestic jobs done first thing and had a long session getting the DVD orders ready, there were twenty separate orders some with several DVDs, I'd got the discs done last night but had to get the covers out and put them together. I dropped them off at our post office, Lawrence gave me a post sack for the next batch, that said there aren't that many as yet.
