Light fitted.

Well here it is the nice reclaimed brass light, it was fitted this afternoon after we came back from Lemington Spa.

We had set off this morning heading for The Shires retail park via Lemington Spa. We needed to go to a Curry's to try and get an attachment for the hoover. Needless to say the bus we caught didn't go there, we should have walked into Warwick to the bus depot and caught a bus from there. Of course I had a tutting in my ear because himself knew we were going the wrong way he didn't actually say "I told you so" but it was written all over his face. Any way what did it matter it hadn't cost us anything. When we got into Lemington a lot of the town was closed off as the Royal Warwickshire Regiment were marching through the town., was nice to see so many people out in support of our troops.

After asking a local we got on the right bus and got to the retail park. Quick pop into Focus for a couple of bolts to fix the light and a new waste trap for the sink. Found Curry's and as usual no attachment and not a lot of help from the staff either never mind though. Waited half an hour for a bus to take us back to Warwick (bus we should have caught on the way out). It was market day in town Paul made a bee line for the mankiest stall there you know the one that sells all the old tools and stuff that you would chuck in a skip. Paul loves these places and as usual ended up buying what to me was a load of rubbish, an old light fitment which had so many dents in it, but according to Paul it had just the right bracket on it to enable him to fit the light to the front of the boat.






And as you can see the old boy has made a good job but I have told him he is responsible for cleaning the damn thing. I have enough brass to clean on the inside.
Tomorrow we are going to have an easy day I am going to clean my brass and if its fine we are going to walk the dogs to the racecourse to give them a good run. There have been a few boats come and go today get busy here but at least its money for a good cause and the people are so helpful you know you will be welcome anytime.
