I think Pauls "lost it"


Another lovely day, dawned bright and sunny, in fact when I looked at my watch this morning I thought it was 8.30 so got out of bed only to find it was 7.30 as the kettle was already on couldn't go back to bed for 5 more mins. Paul was still snoring so he missed this phenomenon of me rising before him and getting the tea made.
We decided as it was nice to go a few more miles this ended up to be only a couple, we did 8 locks though. It was nice to see little clusters of old cottages next to the locks along side more modern houses. What really amazed us was the fact that in the front gardens of the modern houses which were overlooking the canal they all had their tables chairs and BBQ's you could imagine them all on a summers evening having community BBQ's something that you assume is no longer happening.


We were lucky at some of the locks with people coming down so all in all an easier day than yesterday. We came out of lock 47 and came across a nice stretch with rings so that is where we are now, nice tow path and it looks as if there is a nice walk through the fields for me to take the dogs.


After lunch Paul suggested a nice glass of wine so I told him there was a bottle in the fridge, "did you open it?" he says, what is he talking about I thought to myself "well the seal has been broken is it okay?" when I got up to see what he was talking about the silly so and so had taken out a bottle of water that I had put in the fridge to chill. Okay so I had decanted the water into a wine bottle but surely water doesn't look anything like white wine. I am beginning to get a bit worried about him I think he is loosing it big time.

Think we will stay here for the weekend, there is a boat a little way in front of us but not sure if it gets busy here or not. Paul is dangling his rod and every time he casts out a boat comes along so I will give him about half an hour before he gives up.

I am going to have a nice easy weekend, have some letters to write to our friends in Spain then I will do nothing but chill out and read my book, BLISS.

I would have thought that he would have been able to change the water into wine-is he slipping?

He's a bit out of practise, next trick is walking on water
