Quiet Sunday

As forecast, yesterday's thaw has been followed by a return of the freeze, so things are even more treacherous underfoot than before.

We've had a quiet day, buying a paper in the village and the latest issue of Waterways World from the marina reception.

The toilet tank is very nearly full, so Sheila swept the pontoon to the back of the boat whilst I disposed of ash and refilled the grit bag. Tomorrow, we'll rig the pump out pump and fill some drums with it to take round to the Elsan point for disposal, thus buying a bit more time. We've still got a decent amount of diesel, despite using the Hurricane a lot, so that's not likely to be a problem for at least another fortnight or three weeks.

The water tank is now less than half full, but again we should be able to hang on for a while.

There's no sign of a change in the weather for the foreseeable future.

At least I'm a fan of cricket (yess!!!*) rather than football, so it's been a good week for me sports wise.
