Sheila has still not fully recovered from the dreaded heavy cold/flu like illness, so I went to Stafford all by myself today. It proved to be a successful trip, although the indoor market isn't open on Wednesdays, so I couldn't get any meat from the butcher in there.
This is a bit of a pain, as in my experience the butcher here in Great Haywood is no more than OK, with rather high prices and not very special meat (the "steak mince" is fatty, and the stewing steak variable, so that after two hours cooking some bits are melting in the mouth and others are like shoe leather).
No matter, I'm sure I'll think of something.
Meanwhile, back at the boat, Sheila ran several wash loads, watched her Christmas DVD of Kiss Me Kate and took a phone call from Peter Mason at Braidbar. He was ringing to say that he's going to replace the faulty toilet tank gauge sender again, but needed the vital statistics of the tank to order the replacement.
It was good of him to call, as today was the day that the next shell, which will become Braidbar number 129, Mi Amigo, was being delivered. So, congratulations to Derek and Eleanor Apps, I hope the build goes well for you, and that you are as thrilled with your new boat as we have been with both of ours.

Thanks Bruce. It was very exciting seeing our new home being launched. Looking forward to seeing it at the various stages as the innards take shape. Been following your blog with interest over the winter. Not sure I should really, what with the ice and snow, and then your recent sewage problem. Maybe blissful ignorance would be better.
All the best, Eleanor.
