THE WEEK ENDS ON A HIGH NOTE LITERALLY

A busy day started with an early appointment with the dentist at Partington although I took advantage of a swift journey and early arrival to do some course reading. Then it was back home and out with Mandy for various banking jobs and a trip to the butchers. Then after calling at Plumleys garden centre for morning coffee Mandy dropped me back and left me to do some studying while she did the rest of the shopping. An overcast but dry and still day which would have been ideal for bus filming but you can't win them all. I managed to copy some film material I needed and get a couple more archive rally DVDs done, last a bit late to get online this evening. We were out late afternoon to Manchester for the symphony concert at the RNCM, had dinner at Brodskys restaurant at the college and had a drink with Katie on the development, personal giving team. This all leaves plenty to do tomorrow as we have a few DVD orders to get through.

Today and yesterday saw a dramatic fall in our Youtube hits and revenue although this usually reverses at weekends, its hard to tell what precipitates these peaks and troughs given the worldwide spread of our viewers. I did make a start getting more photos filed the last couple of days but lots now queued to go on our Smugmug still photo sales site. Frustrating that we don't have more hours in the day and an extra day or two to go in the week now and then. Between all these activities we are getting ready to decorate the lounge but getting the colour right is difficult as the present colours aren't a good base for the trials so a coat of white emulsion may be in order before top coats, all possibly later in the month but I do have to get a major course assignment in for month end. Then we start the next section which abruptly gets interrupted by Christmas as the course isn't aligned to the university year.

What on earth can I give you tonight by way of pictorials, as I'm still waiting to cover Bradford, Halifax , York and Harrogate not to mention Keighley lets call in at Yorkshire
