Its been a very busy and tiring day and my legs are shaking and ready to drop off and the prospect of work tomorrow almost makes me wish the day of retirement came a year early. Anyway I've accomplished much and it's hard to know where to start. I've been finishing off tasks from pre French trip days and this includes the completion of the Southdown 100 DVD which lasts a whole 90 minutes and you certainly can never get too much of a great thing like Southdown and I noted as I quickly flicked through Buses magazine that they'd got a report of the great day at Southsea included which must have required some quick footwork. I got my adverts for the August editions of Buses and Classic Vintage Commercials ready and sent off. I've nearly finished downloading the French video to the computer. I've spent some time mowing lawns and titivating the garden and also cleaned out all the bird feeders and my hands still smell of disinfectant from the clean up. I've also been shopping and the gentle aroma of home cooking bides well after that rubbish French muck, I wish they could learn to cook rather than just think they can, most English pubs knock spots off any French bistro etc. Washing and ironing now dominate Mandy's domestic schedule and a quick count up of left over euros revealed just how expensive it is traveling at speed around France. The next overseas trip is at the end of July when I visit Moldova again with Martin, which reminds me I've also sorted out the rather diminutive selection of tickets from France although these days such things are becoming increasingly hard to find abandoned as cards are topped up and retained for long periods. I've uploaded a few clips from the remainder of the Hampshire trip pre France and need to do the Southdown 100 cover for the DVD. Lets have yet another selection from the French photos by now moving on to the next legs of the journey Montpelier is one of my favourites and work to complete the city loop of route 4 was under way, I got some great shots from around what is now quite an extensive system. Work tomorrow will be frantic as I seem to recall conference Tuesday and Wednesday taking me out of the office yet again with so much to catch up on in a busy period but one day all this will be a distant dim memory of 40 years with just one company to end my working life.
