WHOOPEEEE A NIGHTS SLEEP AT LAST

yes it was straight off to sleep last night, I gave the sleeping pills one more chance and it was either them or I was just too tired to fight against the discomfort but after another night of rest the knee has decreased in size and has now lost over a stone in weight which is probably why I never seem to be away from the toilet. I can't believe it still less than two weeks since I came out of hospital and tomorrow we are going to have out stand at Heaton Park Trans Lancs rally, your last chance to email or ring if you want us to bring anything specific along. We'll not bother with photos they are too heqavy to handle and we'll make do with just the paste tables and use the stand shelves as bridges between, we should get almost all the stock out that way and just pray that it stays dry, even a bit of sunshine we wouldn't sniff at.

The gardener came quite early, I got up about 8.30 although still a bit sleepy, Mandy took boxes to the tip and top up on vegetables in Northwich. The sun had been out most of the day. I finished off the latest German tram DVD on Karlsruhr and am downloading for the next one which heads towards the end of the 1990s and we shall soon have caught up with my mini dv coverage when Mandy and I did an extensive German tour in reasonable weather. Now the gardens looking spruced up I hope I can dead head some of the spent flowers and roses and keep on top of it.

I had a go bidding on the articulated Ikraus trolleybuses from Slovakia and Hungary but lost out in the last second although it bounced back with a second chance opportunity but I'd already jumped in a a Buy it now offer which was little more than I would have paid at the auction and I'm sure less than the winner coughed up. Its been a busy day dor sales at auction and we've listed yet more rare books plus Mandy has got me to list a rake of Radley handbags.

Here are Youtube clips from the latest DVD archives of German trams.

we are having our roast dinner tonight, my first post operation pastis went down a treat looking forward to roast lamb and a bottle of wine.
