Well it looks as though we have all decided to make a move in the next couple of days. George the BW guy came past on Thursday just checking things out and asking if we were moving anytime soon. Wasn't pushing just asking, when Paul said he had dentist appointments he said all we had to do was tell them in the Stop House that we would be around for a bit and it would be okay to stay if we wanted to. Very accommodating I thought but we need to move as we are getting bored of the same scenery.
Thing with being in one place for so long is that Paul starts THINKING and that is not a good thing. His little brain goes into overdrive so now I am surrounded by drawings of the new boat layout once it has been stretched and I had to type out a specification of works as well. All this has come about because Paul went down to Dave Thomas's yard to get a couple of bits of steel (don't ask) and got chatting to Dave about stretching and the cost etc so now the original drawing has been scrapped and the new one done, just have to run every thing by Dave to see if it is all viable then hopefully we will get a quote from him. We will get other quotes as well but like to keep our options open. Of course with Caxton going to Dave for a stretch soon Paul will be watching the ongoing work.
As we are all on the move soon I decided that tea and cake in the afternoon was a bit tame so tomorrow we are all meeting on board Piston Broke for a farewell booze up with, wait for it ,NIBBLES oh we are so decadent. Will be strange not to have our friends around us we have had such a good time together and I hope we will all meet up again in the not to distant future.
Have been in touch with Ian and Alison on Gosty Hill and they are on their way to Braunston hoping to get here today, his leakage problem has been sorted a plate being welded onto the hole. Bad but not as bad as feared.
Chores have been done this morning, Paul has had a shower (about time) a hair cut and a shave so looks quite respectable again wont last long mind. Blow me he has had a brain storm he is making coffee first time this decade.
Met Chris and Debbie nb Ubique yesterday at the bus stop, we were all on our way for some food shopping. We all caught the same bus back well laden with grub.
Well coffee's ready I'll be off.
