Paul was determined to get the painting done today, so everything was scrubbed down, stern decks removed and the gulley given a good wash through, think there was more dog hairs in this gulley than on the dog. Weather looked a bit dodgy but no rain was forecast. Newly mixed paint was put to use on the stern decks first (these were on the chairs on the towpath) then it was below the gunnel that had the treatment. Paint has matched in fine so that is a good result.
Well you can imagine with it being Bank holiday Sunday the amount of boats that were whizzing past, so Paul was getting more and more irate as the boat was moving quite a bit. Wasn't for me to tell him it was the wrong day to do the painting I think he found that out for himself. He managed to get it all done just in time for the F1 which turned out to be a disaster for Jenson Button so all in all Paul is not a very happy bunny and to top it all it is now RAINING. So it looks as if the painting will have to be done all over again. Ah well such is life.
Have had some success with Skype, spoke with our friends in Hungary for an hour and with my cousin in Spain this week but have found we cant use the camera which isnt a problem just speaking for free is a bonus.
