The rarified heights of the NEC

Have been at an exhibition for most of the past week at the NEC. I don't quite know how I managed to get roped into doing 3 days - I was originally only preparing something beforehand for the show, not preparing, setting up, manning and taking down! I did take the opportunity though to get some work done on the car...new headlamp, recirculation vent motor, key and indicator fault (again - still not fixed). GD picked me up from the garage and we went off to set up the show. All boxes arrived and the stand was quickly in place. Quick jaunt to pick the car back up then off to the hotel for a meal and a drink.

Next day was spent manning the stand and developing "exhibition back" and "exhibition foot". Both are painful conditions usually associated with standing around for the best part of 10 hours...anyway, went back home on Wednesday night and then back for some more punishment on Thursday. Of course, with all this going on, I hadn't spent as much time as I would normally with Indi and boy, didn't I know it by the time we arrived at dog training on Thursday night. She was terrible, permanently woo-wooing at anything that moved. Still, at least she sits quite happily with all the other dogs there now. In fact, she's become quite the little charmer in that respect!
