It all went as planned

...which doesn't make for a very exciting blog, but then that's the point really.

This morning we ambled down to the paper shop, taking the Garmin with us. This demonstrated that it's just under a mile each way, so getting the paper just about constitutes the two mile brisk walk recommended for us oldies every day.

After a lunch involving home made ciabatta rolls, we actually pulled off the pontoon and boated all the way across the marina to get a pump out, diesel and five bags of Taybrite. I don't much like Taybrite, but it's all they stock. It looks like we're using about £100 per month in heating fuel; the Hurricane is burning around 0.7 litres per hour, and we've burnt around £15 pounds worth of smokeless fuel in a fortnight. In addition, we've consumed about £3.50 worth of electricity.

So our carbon footprint must be pretty small, all told.

Back on the pontoon, I was able to persuade the plug to go into the forward shoreline connector, though it still needs checking to see why it's so reluctant to join up.

Tomorrow, I'm off to the GP to see how the latest meds are working, so fingers crossed.
