Another week in the U.K,but with a bank holiday in it to cock things up.I was down at Sheerness Docks on Friday night and made did'nt even venture onto the Motorway.I had a good hour or so of driving but the traffic reports were coming in thick and fast and it would of taken an hour just to cross the bridge.So it was a lay by for the night and an early start on Friday.It took 7 hours to get home.Steve was at Rugby and we sort of followed each other in.

I had a drop on Saturday morning and a dock shunt,but as the roads were clear it was a joy to do.One of the drivers had his curtains slashed on the A14 and this got me thinking that I could do a web cam in the lorry?As I am still in nice road trucker mode this cant be to hard to do.So on Sunday I started to look into it.

The software is free and I already have the webcams - I was going to start video chat if I had been over in Ireland - so I set about setting up a web cam taking pictures every ten seconds and a page to display them on.Now I know that I can upload to the internet in a 3G area on my phone so surely it must work.The Kitty Cam works indoors and on the broadband but will it all work in the cab? - watch this space

So for a first attempt its not too bad,but can I get this to work on the move? It will the laptop to be on and the web cam to be out of field of vision to keep the VOSA boys happy and of course not be a distraction.The camera is smaller than a pack of polos so that should'nt be to hard.I am going to keep Kitty Cam going until they leave the box at home and will set mine up this week some time.I have seen US truckers have them and I have been told that some keen cyclists have them.What I realy would love is if I could catch some jokers slashing curtains at night as it has a low light/night setting.
Glasson dock
We went to the maritine weekend at Glasson Dock this weekend with my Dad,to get some air and also check it out.The first shock was the £3.50 parking,they had obviously been in touch with the UKs service stations and taken a page out thier books? We heard some Sea Shantys being sung,saw a coricle being built and went to the Smoke House to buy some bacon.As Jo knows the price of everything where she works all she did was pick things up and compare prices.It was a nice run out and the weather was cracking with the snow on the hills.We did an Easter egg hunt with Jess and Rebecca but ultra competative Jess sulked because she found less than anybody else,so thats the last time we do that.
