WEATHER FORECAST WRONG YET AGAIN

Nearly a wasted trip but I did salvage a programme on Barnsley and with lots of new buses with Stagecoach Trackie it was well worthwhile getting that alone. The weather was not cloudy but sunny, mostly a clear blue sky and then the odd cloud which is the opposite of the BBC prediction, if it is only a guess or estimate they should give some indication of the degree of accuracy expected as that is now four weeks in a row that this has happened and just shows that we do get lots of sunshine it's when we don't want it though.

No hassles there these days as they sacked the people who used to run the satellite tracking equipment which homed in on bus enthusiasts so they could send out their tactical response unit, remember the time when I had two police women on horse back guarding me from the security guards! Crazy old would but nice not to have any hassle today. I gave up after this and abandoned any thoughts of covering Doncaster as it would have been impossible.

It was a good run over this morning over Woodhead and I did think of the roundabout at the Sheffield Barnsley end for filming but it was in shadow by the time I headed back. The old council buildings which were demolished have been replaced by a giant shed with a market inside looks worse than what was there before but then that's Barnsley for you. The high level of troubled people was very evident on the streets, issues galore no doubt! We are getting on with the Christmas cards the first ones have now gone out.Not a lot of orders in the post this evening ( our post comes very late) but plenty on the internet. I'm not sure after all this what I'll get done tomorrow, was thinking Stafford and Tamworth,  double checking though with as many forecasts as I can find. Still copying the 16mm films, a few are 'pinked' which will reduce value a lot but I only paid a tenner each. Not too many pictures today as it's hard to get shots there. The house is now full of plumbers, servicing the boiler, gas fire and looking at the bathroom sink which has never run properly since new. I'll have the Barnsley bus DVD ready tonight, there are three covers now that I do to complete. I've updated the Amazon shop but EBay needs adding to, our shop is always up to date though.
