Just as I was putting the finishing touches to the sound track on the new British Municipal Buses film the news of Capt Sir Tom Moore's death came through giving me a few minutes to include a dedication at the end as without people like Sir Tom we wouldn't be sharing all these memories of the past decades. New came through of Mandy's vaccination, it is next Saturday, we had to learn fast and be quick as places book up in seconds once the notification invites come through. We also got texts from our dentist, almost a year to the day since our last check ups, we both go to see him shortly. Life certainly is trying to get back to a semblance of normality in places. I'll now have to get the Birmingham bus film edited and the two truck films I took yesterday at Middlewich. I can confirm that I shall be filming in Hull tomorrow, there should be some new buses since our winter visit last year, fingers crossed that the weather does what is is supposed to. The film on municipal bus services was probably the most ambitious I've ever done and it is quite a task until all film is digitised to undertake a volume like this. Running time 100 minutes. I need to get a cover sorted fairly quickly but with the Hull trip it will be catch up on editing day. Friday still looks like filming in Worcestershire. Saturday Mandy's covid jab. Not many DVD orders today so a chance to get them ready for Mandy to pack as I'll be up early tomorrow, the road from home on the M60/62 is now clear of road works once I'm north of M6 Junct 19 which has a mammoth bridge installation under way with yet more multi millions that the country doesn't really seem to have spare, a bit like the new rail line, unloved, unwanted. Lets remember what I was able to get at Hull for lorries until they messed the roundabout up, mind you it was a very dangerous place, Hull is among the roughest dives in Britain. Comments are closed.
