13 July
I was going to say "Meandering on..." in recognition of the boat I saw yesterday called Meander which had the explanation "Me and her" underneath the name just in case you were slow on the uptake, but the route here from Swarkestone is not that bendy.
The T-mobile internet connection here is rubbish, though it was fine almost until we got here - must be the difference between Burton and Derby. I'll keep this short, and folks shouldn't be worried if I miss a day now and then for the next couple of weeks, as we know from experience that the connection will be trouble all the time we're near the home of bitter beer.
It was a very pleasant run on an idyllic summer's morning – lots of fluffy cloud around, but it only got seriously wet this afternoon, whilst we were out geocaching. Braidbar 42, Shiraz is here too, and we've had a couple of natters with them already.
We found three out of four caches we looked for, so not bad, but still frustrating to miss one.
Mr Millin: thank you for your comment yesterday, and I'm sorry I've not posted anything on the Building Sanity Again blog recently, but that's because there's not a lot going to happen until we meet Peter Mason again, probably at the end of this month or in early August. I'll maybe do a brief bit about the Megapulse discussion we've just had on the canals list when I next have a decent connection.
Meantime, demands like that from someone who has to get someone else to post his pictures of his own build is really a classic piece of chutzpah even by your standards. The fact that you've run out of design ideas for Phoenix is not my problem.
(For everyone else, you can tell Roger and I are good mates. Can't you? Hope so anyway, cause it's true.)
Tomorrow, on to Burton, and then probably on through either to the Morrison's mooring or Branston Water Park, see how we feel.

My motto is that you can learn something from the biggest idiot in the world.......not that I'm saying that you're an idiot of course........Would I!? ;-))))
As far as the Phoenix pictures are concerned....."I have a man to do that, don't you?"
Seriously, it's very interesting viewing to see someone else wrangling through the decisions that have to be made before passing your spec on to one's builder. The doubts, the decisions, the anguish as to whether you've made the right decision because you know full well that you're going to have to live with the consequences of those decisions; it's all challenging and interesting stuff.....and I like to see someone else suffer also ;-)))
It does get easier though; the more boats you have built, the easier it gets. You'll be OK by about your fourth ;-)))
Thank you Roger, it's good to have your moral support ;-}
The bit that really does my head in is the way you think you've decided something, and then you see another solution, or have a conversation at a show, and find yourself revisiting it.
Never mind, it's all good fun. Look forward to seeing the fit out pics of Phoenix in due course.
All the best
Bruce
