WET COLD WINDY BUT SPRING IS AROUND THE CORNER

At breakneck speed we have bolted through another week although it seems there are still several days to go. This morning started up ok although a few phone calls took longer than anticipated particularly around the disabled access rubber ramps for St Oswalds. We dropped off the post, shot down in to Knutsford so i could get Mandy's birthday card but tried Smiths and a stationers, both had cards suited for 1917 rather than this century, I'll try Marks & Spencer somewhere when I'm out tomorrow. Then met with Keith my fellow church warden and did the lighting survey, we've funded it among a small group. Then we played with the access step in the bell tower, Mandy did the guinea pig stuff in her manual wheel chair, just a couple of pieces of old carpet almost did te job so the rubber wedges and some rubber mat should make a good result and at low cost. I returned home with Mandy and ordered the required lamps.

Then I had but a brief time to sort the recent DVDs out and created and put covers on those I'd copied for the Sussex windmill group and our friend in Wales for the Cambridge 1961 cuppers finals film. The day was now sailing past us , time for a wash no change in clothes, no time it was the Flossie Piaf/Brel concert at Clonter, she has varied the act with some more general material, Saturday is pure Piaf/Brel though in the cabaret format although there are masses of spaces to fill.I found my broken finger prevents me clapping properly! Then home, DVD orders on the machines and I'm editing the two truck films at Crick from yesterday.

The Bristol or Reading bus trip is back to next Tuesday when forecast is much better. Tomorrow I'll possibly do Coventry plus perhaps Northampton. The Youtube channel is doing very well at present , some interesting data, out of top 10 eight are truck films. The Mansfield bus clips two of which are the only bus films in said top ten, one of which now has will over a million hits. Country wise for viewer stats the top place after UK is Vietnam which must now have attracted some good advertising as it's drawing in a steady income. Perhaps I should load more from Vietnam, it's nice to be 'big' the other side of the world. Friday we are doing the British Polio Fellowship collection first shift at Tescos on the Wirral. The van is almost ready for Boyle St, Manchester sale on Saturday but a few more bits to pop in Friday afternoon. The church lamps should arrive tomorrow I'll drop then off and angels in size 9's may well get them up or at least make a start so it looks good on Mothering Sunday as well as being in place for Easter. It will be a very busy morning Sunday my first in an 'almost' official position. Photos from Chester le Street earlier this week.
