...and wet

As forecast, it's rained for most of today. Not quite as warmly as I'd hoped, but definitely not freezing, and the ice on the water is beginning to retreat. The forecast for the next couple of weeks is for alternate frosty spells and these slightly warmer days, so it's not going to be a galloping thaw, that's for sure.

It's been a day for sitting tight in the boat, pottering about and watching the Hogfather DVD I got for Christmas.

The guy next door in Crosby is industriously refitting part of his boat, so our musings are punctuated by the sound and feel of heavy drilling and grinding. It's just like being in the yard up at Braidbar, hearing the guys there working away whilst we loaf about.

We've booked a Sainsbury's delivery for tomorrow, so we've got something to look forward to...
