Fave truck. US Peterbilt.

What happened to Foden trucks. Doing driving for fairgrounds on a showman licence is on my list to do one day when spawn is older.

Both spawn and my fave truck spotted so far. We think it’s a Scania Aussie style road train unit with flatbed hooked up from Walls Trucks. But are happy to be corrected given we know very little between us. Walls appears to be a recovery company. Lovely trucks.

Can’t wait to share a few stories from Truck Fest later. Spawn is just finishing his brekkie w r we are about to head over to Newbury Showground.

If you’ve got Sunday off enjoy your rest time if you’re working, thank you for keeping the country running. Drive safe.

This is the maddest scam. A page called “page schedule for deletion” pretends to be fa ebook to get you clic on a link (which I won’t do). Fu**in Facebook. Mental.

Once a year I get a reminder of my previous life as a producer when I get the statement from a film distributor for a 2 min short I produced back in 2005-7 (took 2 years to finish).

This year I’m getting €45. Not a massive amount but a night out.

You can watch the film here. It’s best to watch with headphones as the sound design is critical to the effect of the film.

Is there anything more wonderful than waking up on your first day off at 06:30 to drag your pre teen out of bed and get him reluctantly ready for school even though they’ve got the second day of a special sailing training day at the Ahoy centre in greenwich. And they should’ve raring to go. Can’t wait till his a teenage. He’s gonna be frickim hilarious.

Anyway day one of four off today. Time to reflect on my first month as a gun for hire. But despite the challenges and mishaps I’ve had, I’ve loved it and will deffo do it for a few months more.

Silly title for a comedy trucking western. I don’t have a story yet so feel free to chuck idea of Characters, scenarios. It’s set in the UK.

“a fistful of miles”

If you’re on the roads drive safe. If it’s footdown Friday, get that pedal to the metal. And if you’re off, have a relaxing time.

Through the leaves outside my window I spy a sleeping Heverin truck. How sweet. They’re like foxes. Shy but beautiful. Best not to disturb though as they can bite and snarl when startled or frightened.
