Strange, this business of working again, after a fashion - weekends once more have meaning. High point of this one will be seeing both Elanor (daughter) and Graeme and Cathy (son/daughter-in-law). Less good is the reason - looks like Sheila's Mum, their grandmother, is pretty ill, and may not be with us much longer. At 86 it's not a surprise, but still very hard for Sheila.
Meanwhile we continue the good work at the yard, meeting the couple having one of the current boats built, and doing various bits of order chasing and taking phone calls.
New book arrived today, Arthur Ransome and Captain Flint's Trunk by Christina Hardyment, an account of chasing up the real people and places behind the Swallows and Amazons books. Must be part of growing old, this revisiting stuff from your youth, but it's surely fun. Adolescence is so much better the second time around! Have also just discovered the Iain Banks Forum - I'm a longtime fan of both his sci-fi and non-genre novels.
Not sure if I'll get a chance to post anything over the weekend, so see you Monday.
