16th August
Highlights from the last couple of days:
We had a party on the pontoon on Saturday evening, with much sharing of drinks, especially a range of whiskies, and later we made an outdoor buffet of the various dinners we'd cooked – three kinds of curry and some chilli from me, plus rice and cous cous.
Sadly, no one had a camera handy to record the invention of pole dancing, narrowboat style, using the tiller swan necks. An excellent evening, but a few sore heads yesterday morning!
We've put a lot of fence up, taken some of it down again and put it up elsewhere as the site team try to make the most of the terrain. It's much easier than last year – just a single skin, and a simple site perimeter.
The weather has been great, sunny some of the time, but not too hot to work, and we're quite optimistic about it for the next few days.
We've now got a socialising big gazebo up near the workers' boats, so we had our evening drink in there. Morale continues high.
Over the next couple of days we should see power start to appear as the gennies arrive and get hooked up. This will save having to run the boat engines every day, which will be good.
