Yesterday we cruised through thin ice till we got back to Uxbridge. We stopped at Cowley Lock for water rubbish and toilet so we are okay for a while. As we came up through Uxbridge lock there was a boat waiting to come down so we took their place just past the tow work boats. At least the tele in this spot is fine. When we were here last time we were a few yards nearer the lock and the TV was absolute crap in fact Paul was so irate that he rang up the company who we got the digi box from and they told us how to reboot it as we thought it was the box on the blink, just goes to show what a few yards can do to the reception. Last evening a chap asked us if we could spare a bag of coal, he offered to pay but Paul said we would rather have a bag of coal, as yet no coal has turned up watch this space!!!
Jack Clare and the kids are coming up on Sunday will be nice to see them again. We have also met up with Terry and Maggie on nb Sense of Freedom again.
Today Paul installed stratification fans. You know what it is like the fire has been alight most of the day you settle down for the evening and every time you get up the heat by the bulk head takes your breath away Paul is 6ft 2in I am 5ft 2in so his head is in the heat more than mine. What he has done is buy 3 12v fans and in Pauls usual way has modified them. This meant taking them to bits adapting them so they did the job, now we will have air movement from the front of the boat to the back and the bedroom will be warmer.
Christmas cards are now posted, we even ventured into Woolworths to see if we could get a bargain but the shop was heaving so we gave that up as a bad job. Called in at the Marina for oil so thats another job that has to be done.
