Tomorrow the weather looks less awful than suggested at the end of last week and as I've not had time to arrange anything in our schedule I'll do a quickie run up to Oldham, I hadn't realised about 18 months had passed since I was last there. On the waiting list there is Nottingham, Leicester, Mansfield, Northampton, Keighley, Barnsley, York and many more. London would have been ideal this week but not at the last minute we have to plan things out with an eye to Mandy's transport between places, its ok on a weekend she can park with the disabled disc all day but its time limited on a working day. We spoke to my sister in Northampton today and managed to get a date set for a Christmas dinner together mid December. The DVD orders were flooding in up to lunch time today and I've got them all ready to be posted in the morning. In keeping with right minded people everywhere we are at one with Paris , I guess next time I go with the camera paranoia will have spread there. There is a minutes silence for the victims at 11 UK time to fit in with the French one at 12.00. St Oswalds had a French flag and candle, the bishop of Chester who was visiting tonight said he wished they had been able to organise something at the cathedral in Chester. Staying with France we look there for tonight's medley of photos.
Whilst the weather has continued wet and windy we've stayed as much as possible warm indoors and this afternoon whilst wading my way through lots more of the 16mm films I came across some real gems which include an Austin advert mid 1930s which has the coach station with East Kent, Southdown,M&D, E.> National etc plus some golden oldie buses around London and on top of this aircraft and ships as they celebrate Britains transport heritage and some of the then latest Austin cars you could invest in. Then there was another gem about Hobart, Tasmania which in addition to being an all round good quality film included shots of the trolleybuses. I'm still putting the films on EBay and the first few have now got bids against them . I was bidding for several films which ended today, I got about half, I think Mandy will be more understanding when they are providing money coming back the other way as well as going out.The 16mm professional films are usually the best source, there was also a 1951 film on the launch of a tanker at Haverton Hill on Teesside which when I was at work was one of the shipyards we bought, I think at some stage the directors of the plant division had set up a little job on the side converting a fishi9ng boat to a cabin cruiser.
