Now last week's radio show is out of the way its prep time for this week's speaking engagements.
.Monday night it's off to the outer reaches of Huddersfield to Marsden Mechanic's Institute and share my Introduction to the World of Brass Bands. The last time I was out Marsden way would be about 60 years ago when our youth club went open water swimming in a reservoir out that way.
Tuesday - Back to Huddersfield to a church and share 'How we used to live', the members are going to enjoy this one. No time to waste must get back ASAP for a zoom dry-run with Skegness Probus Club.
Wednesday - an evening with the Cleckheaton and District Rotary Club - it's the pirate presentation at this one which should go down well with the members.
Thursday and we off again this time to Pudsey Civic Society to share the lighter side of my policing years - back to the old days including the short time I spent in Leeds and having to attend a four hour course on how the new money will work - decimalisation February 15, 1971 - can you remember that day?
Friday and its back to prep the new radio show for Sunday.
It's all go, you have to keep busy...
