As I suspected, it wasn't feasible to blog yesterday; by the time I got back from Elanor's, it was quite late, and I was too tired (read, in need of a drink ;) ) to bother.
It was a successful day, though. Elanor and Sally came over for lunch, very full of themselves after their performance at the obedience class Christmas party, where Sally won the red rosette for the party games by one point over a very experienced poodle. Her speed over the ground compensated for her lack of experience in competition; in one game, hide and seek, covering the length of the arena in five seconds.
Whilst they were here, we were visited by blog readers Martin and Margaret, who have just bought Erin Mae from the marina sales office. We had a conversation about washing machine options, and hope to see them again as they will be mooring here, once they can put the boat back in the water after its survey.
My trip to the Eye Clinic went off alright, though I've been given a new set of eye drops.
Today, we've been pottering about, getting through a lot of routine stuff; Sheila has been binding the family calendars, and we posted three of them this morning. A couple of washloads have been run, and one tumble dried, and the Sainsbury's order arrived no problem (ho ;) ).
Only thing about it was, I thought I'd ordered 1 kg of bananas, and it turned out to be 0.17 kg, in fact, one banana. I must have clicked the wrong radio button when ordering. This is Sue's mistake on No Problem, but in reverse. She once ended up with 10 x 50 g boxes of mushrooms when she wanted 10 mushrooms.
Have just heard from Elanor that the oil filled radiator I ordered from Amazon (well, Bamford Trading) has arrived, the day after ordering it, so we can leave some extra heat on in the boat when we go to Lincoln for Christmas. She's coming over for dinner tomorrow, to deliver it before the weather closes in again.
