I am carrying on filming as long as I can , I'm not sure what arrangements there are for the truckers, take aways with a picnic area to eat in seems the favourite work around. Tomorrow I'm trucks at Goole just off the M62 with reduced traffic it is a lot easier to get there and it is nice and isolated but expecting lots of super friendly trucks passing by. Most places seem to be going over the Saturday service on the buses but for lorries they are busier than ever with land shipments from the continent drying up they are arriving more by ship which will mean the likes of Immingham , Southampton and Liverpool will be more busy than ever, I haven't been top Felixstowe for some time but should be epic there, I'll be taking a flask of coffee and some cake or sandwiches to keep me going. I really don't get close to many people ever on the film trips so I should be a neutral observer in the current crisis. I've still not met anyone who knows of anyone that has had Corona, really quite weird, lots of theories out there and fake news but little sensible comment from the 'authorities'. What I can't get my head round is that there are 8k seasonal flu cases in UK each winter yet the corona virus is nowhere near that . I'll probably manage to get to Coventry this week for buses, the weather looks set fair in many places until the end of the week. I've been hacking away at the hedge at the bottom of our garden with the new chain saw and its well on its way to being about 2 foot shorter and even more so at the ends where the unkempt council hedge and neighbours hedges meet it. The giant Leylandii number two, we thought it was all the one tree. I'm clawing my way through them at the extremities. all the offers from neighbours to help comes to nothing when the sun comes out and the wine flows. I like to just get these things sorted, there I sound like Trump/Scraggy Head Johnson. The DVD orders are all ready to post tomorrow morning. I'm still scanning cine films, I've come to the end of George Roberts London buses, a shame that about 90% is poor quality all that film must have cost a packet. Did you read the Emmerdale and Coronation st are to cease filming now onwards, enough episodes to get to June if I understand correctly.We had my birthday present Margaux with dinner tonight. What can I give you tonight, I've been emailing and phoning so many friends this weekend to keep in touch so how about some 'happy days' shots from our family album, not something you'll be viewing that often but rings the changes in these unusual times and just to prove there is a life beyond buses, trams,trolleys and lorries!
