Today is a lovely day, even got to walk the dogs with a body warmer on makes a change from body warmer and fleece. Paul has painted our life buoys before putting new ropes on them just getting things smart for the summer. I had a mad half hour and cleaned the windows on the tow path side, I don't go in for balancing on the gunnel's to do the canal side.
Lots of people on the move, no one on the puddlebanks again and a couple of winter moorers have moved from opposite the pub. Have seen quite a few hire boats too, lets hope this nice weather stays with us for a while.
Making a move up to Hilmorton tomorrow will probably stop somewhere on the way might as well stretch the journey out. Hopefully the internet connection will be better and I wont have to sit in the cratch to use my laptop.

- nb piston broke
- After years of working,Paul and I retired early. I worked in accounts departments and Paul spent 39 years as an Electrical Mechanical engineer in the industrial refrigeration industry. Paul also served time as a refrigeration engineer officer with P&O, to-ing and fro-ing to NZ. In 2001 we decided to move to Spain where we bought an old Spanish finca that needed total renovation. We took our 1500 Goldwing with us to Spain planning to explore the country. But because of the amount of work that needed doing to the finca we were unable to get full use of our lovely motorbike. So it was shipped back to England where it was sold. It took us 3 1/2 years to finish the house, by which time Paul was hankering after another bike so we bought a new Honda VTX 1300 cruiser which was a pleasure to use with our biker friends. In 2007 the writing was on the wall so we decided to return to the UK and bought our lovely narrowboat which was a big step for me as I had never dreamt of living on a narrowboat. Paul has had sailing boats in the past and regulary crewed on a Medway Bawley Gaffer and raced in many local events. We are continuous cruisers planning to explore as much as we can.

Hi
Assuming you have a 'dongle' for your internet and it is not built in to the laptop.
You can get an extension lead at PC World or Maplins, if you pass by.
Then you could be inside whilst the 'dongle' is outside.
