after our smug evening seeing ourselves on the main evening news it was down to earth with evening meal in the restaurant at the hotel, in true Irish fashion we were stuffed.the waitress got the cool cuff water bucket refreshed with ice and I was still using this in the morning on the way through Dublin to the rally site down at the port. I filmed the vehicles arriving throughout the morning, numbers of lorries seemed down on last year although there was a good show of buses also low were fire engines and military vehicle's. the weather was beyond anyone's dreams with an unbroken blue sunny sky throughout the day and straight through the evening and hopefully repeated Sunday and Monday. we are hoping that th sunday turnout surpasses last year. we were under cover in a tent which was quite warm, I was glad I was in shorts. the ole knee was a bit swollen but never painful. I filmed the ordinary wagonsgoingpsst but this really dropped off after lunch as did the attending vehicles which were supposed to be on site by ten am. everything seemed to go quite well, needless to say our takings were a bit down but we have Sunday to go and next time in Ireland I must get the photos replenished. I think the locals thought the DVDs were dear but at twelve quid for such a specialist subject and such high costs im not dropping the price. there is never a chance of doing anything but cover costs and that would be a satisfactory result.
