Finishing off

First job this morning was putting everything back in the gas locker, the Comastic having dried overnight, which meant that we could refill the water tank, so showers are back on the menu, hooray.

We had a meeting with Peter later in the morning, and agreed that we’ve finished the snagging. We’re going to hang around for a couple of days, partly to receive the last stuff we’ve ordered from the net, and partly for socialising purposes (how unlike us :) )

Speaking of which, we had a great night last night, feeding John and Nev, and they are returning the compliment tonight. Then Peter and Susan are coming to dinner tomorrow night, and we'll make a break for it on Friday morning.

Ocado duly delivered our order; admittedly,the guy arrived at ten when we had booked the 11 to 12 slot, but as we’d anticipated that might happen, we were ready for him anyway. So the boat is fully stocked, except I’m sure I’d put a big supply of Ecover laundry detergent on the order and it hadn’t made onto the final list. We’ll have to get some at the first stop we make to shop on the way south, I guess.

Sheila polished the port cabin side after washing it, and I beguiled the time by washing Susan’s car, as it was there, we had the washing kit out, and it needed it. It’s some return for all the power we’ve used whilst sitting in the yard – we did another washload today.

Tomorrow could be quite quiet, with nothing specific needing doing, but that’s OK, we’ll have plenty to do boating south for the winter.
