STILL A BIT POORLY BUT PLENTY OF WORK DONE

There hasn't been much of an improvement and if it continues I'll ring the doctors in the morning, they are probably taking appointments for 2018. I gave my car camera mount a christening this morning, between Cheshire and Birmingham. I had a lot of stops at services and junctions adjusting but I've got the hang of it now and managed to mount it behind the rear window , only problem is damp weather produces spray but it's probably easier to wipe the window rather than keep bashing away at the lens. I practised my techniques and will post the results on Youtube, I didn't get that much for a first time but have learnt a lot, not the sort of thing you gets manuals about. It's a good bracket, well engineered although I'd want good back up straps attached if I used it outside on the vehicle. Talking of which Mandy's new car arrived at the garage today, the hand adaption needs fitting, it will be ready to collect next Monday. We were up at the RNCM in Manchester this evening, met up with Stephanie of marketing who we shared a table with when they launched the new sponsors packages.

​Time flew very quickly and it was soon 6pm and time for opera scenes, using the main theatre the students perform dressed and staged mini scenes and it is a great chance for them to get an audience whilst being marked by their tutors and a chance for the audience to see some great opera for free, it's on for 4 nights this week. It's still very quiet for orders, the latest batch of Maxell DVD discs arrived which work fine and are our normal media, the Verbatum stock is in the bin and I'm having to check everything that goes out that I've produced recently. We had trouble with Verbatum some years ago and only accepted it when Maxell wasn't available. Lots of stuff gathered together for tomorrow night's Bingo Bangers and Beans night fundraiser at Plumley village hall, not a lot of advance tickets sold but it often comes good on the night with most paying at the door. We'll also be promoting the pancakes and quiz evening for Shrove Tuesday and this summer's sponsored walk in Derbyshire for which I want to download a couple of practise walks in the area to get back into form. I can't imagine getting much done n the pain though but I'm sure it will get sorted, I did the bowel cancer test a short while ago and that's one worry I should be able to put aside. I also got some 2016 photos filed and put on Smugmug from Esswex, here are some from Colchester last July.
