What a good weekend!

17th & 18th October

Yesterday was just very pleasant. Graeme and Sheila went off in the morning to get stuff for lunch whilst I loafed onboard playing with the Mini. Elanor arrived at lunchtime, bearing greetings from folks at the WRG Reunion weekend, where she'd been for the night before.

Then we had a leisurely lunch before Graeme headed off home. Mid afternoon, the three of us wandered out for a short walk along the canal and back via the Middlewood Way.

I took a phone enquiry from a potential purchaser for Sanity. He wanted some more photos, so I've spent a bit of the afternoon taking some , sending them to him and uploading them as a Flickr set.

Here's an example:



We also moved some wood from Iain Bryceland's dump pile. It's the remains of the staging he ripped out in refurbishing this end of the basin. Sheila cut some up, and Elanor got out of the car the bags of bits of garden fence she's brought as kindling.

Elanor's headed off back now, and got home in good time, the satnav taking her through the Peak District.

I've been exploring the alternatives to buying a new copy of Dreamweaver. The real question is to what extent it's worth maintaining the static website as it is, or should I go much more Web 2.0, using these blogs and Flickr for most of my web presence, and just keeping a much simpler site going at the www.nbsanity.me.uk address, which I can do with iWeb.

We're looking forward to a quiet evening and an early night after all the excitement.

Nice photos. They don't sell Sanity as well as a real life visit though :) Glad you had a good birthday
The reunion was great. Lots of "jungle" to cut down and I learnt how to use the brush cutter.
