BITTER COLD OUT THERE

Gothenburg May 2000

























Another very cold day, had to defrost the car this morning, thankfully Mandy will be back tonight and normal catering will be resumed, you can only service so long on M&S packets. Next weekend sees the 25th wedding anniversary of Trish and Dereck Galloway, Mandy's cousin, Derek is the trombonist and vocalist with the Temperance Seven Trad Jazz band., needless to say the evening at the Cinnamon Club in Manchester will feature some music. I've now completed the second part of the 2000 coverage of Gothenburg, so that’s 2 super long running DVDs for everyone on what was a memorable tour with Intra Express. The rally calendar for 2009 is filming up quite quickly, why Ian Allan publish theirs so late I don't know, its almost useless by spring time with most people already planning the year ahead with their vehicles. My fish and chips at the three Greyhounds with the power cuts a week ago have made the Knutsford Guardian today. Last week I had the pleasure of listening to an Arthur Haynes sketch with Nicolas Parsons from an old radio performance, Arthur was perhaps better on TV, his tramp personae his trademark , the underdog who really derived to stay where he was, I missed the programme on Harry Worth the ex miner who was another favourite but you can get a replay on the net, for those interested in old BBC comedies Radio 7 can be heard on the internet easily and brings many favourites like the Clitheroe Kid, Navy Lark, Goons etc.





The house in Ireland has lost its tenants, Poles who have moved somewhere cheaper so a dent in the household budget! First sale on Amazon but they don't even tell you by email so how do you know you've sold anything, anyone any experience, strange, thought ebay was bad till I tried Amazon.
