The newspapers tell us that there is little chance of an Indian summer and that winter is coming early, there are those of us who think summer never came at all, a hot spell now would probably kill us. Still fingers crossed for the bank holiday weekend and the book launch. I managed to get a couple of DVD covers finished last night and this evening hope to finish the Irish trucking DVD from Dublin and Waterford 2008. I'm really hoping to get another couple of archive truck films rattled off before I place next round of adverts. Depending upon the weather and trips through the rest of August I will try and get some more old films on to DVD, there are still around 1000 to go at although not all will be tackled in the same mix or presentation as on the early video programmes. If the Online archive material arrives then all bets off and heads down. A quiet day in the post and eBay so a good time to place your orders. Feedback these days is pretty sparse since we went to blog rather than the old newsletters, its nice to hear something now and again you know. Its been a good year for our trucking range and starting to advertise in truck mags has paid off even if it isn't always obvious where orders originate from. I hope to get some tricks in the can this Christmas when we visit New Zealand, perhaps a few even on Fiji when we are there in December. The garden is sodden with rain but tomatoes are now making good progress. The Knutsford Guardian is thinner each week as nearly all estate agents are now destitute and can't afford adverts, we kicked Bridgefords into touch as they treat you like a double glazing salesman would, terrible outfit. The house seemed strangely empty yesterday evening after the family had left, good luck to Rebecca with her exam results on Thursday, here's hoping she gets the uni place she wants, meanwhile Daniel is an international footballer now having represented his Sunday League team in the Netherlands.
