SUNNY EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW LOTS OF NEW BUSES

An exhausting day out productive and we met a friend at Glasgow and had a meal at a favoutite pub near Kirkby Lonsdale on the way home. We had to take my IQ in for its 70k service , well pick it up first thing tomorrow. We've now vacced out the new showroom and washed the floor in readiness for me to start the gloss paintwork and we can then get the carpet delivered and fitted. Next will be moving in the media cabinets which the large display cabinets will sit on. I'm hoping to reuse the old cabinets to a large extent with the shelving resized and glass fronts as shelves. I need to get a new drill with cutting and rebate facility for all the work I'll have to do. Along the line we'll bring in the models from the dining room still boxed and then empty the original office put in extra shelf units and redecorate as well as fitting the units from the editing suite which is really the third bedroom and will in turn be redecorated as such. We need to buy the two new racking/shelf units and two new computer corner desks.

The trip to Scotland was nearly delayed by the M6 closure but thankful we were off and back on quite quickly unlike the south bound which had a few miles of backed up traffic trapped and a 20 mile diversion route through small villages. It took ages to get into Edinburgh but I was soon filming, time was really rushing by and the light perfect and temperature as warm as it gets in those parts, a lot easier and faster trip over to Glasgow, masses more new buses and liveries, really amazing session at the bus station could have stayed there for hours, there is always something different popping up every few minutes and bus action almost continuous.

We'll get the DVD orders ready to post on our way out, attending masterclasses at the RNCM this afternoon then back in time to go to the church pcc this evening. Not sure what will happen tomorrow perhaps do the gloss painting and try for filming somewhere Friday, next week was put aside for Scotland, perhaps if weather fair we could have a couple of days filming in London. Pictures from Ediburgh yesterday morning.
