An early night and a decent amount of sleep meant that we felt much refreshed this morning. It's now just a week until we leave the marina, so this week will be given over to taking advantage of marina mooring whilst we're here.
In particular, several washloads will be run, including towels, bedding and the hot white wash, so that it can all be tumble dried and we leave with the wardrobes and drawers full and the laundry bag empty. If the weather gives us a decent day, we'll wash and polish the startboard side of the boat, as well as spring cleaning the inside. At least, unlike Ian from Nobby, we don't have to polish the brass on the engine.
Apart from all this, the routine will go on, keeping up with emails and Twitter, watching the odd episode of Blakes7 (aren't they all?) and buying and reading the paper. We'll fit in another trip to Stafford, probably on Friday, and I've booked a Sainsbury's delivery for Thursday morning.
When we leave, it'll first be back to Alrewas and Burton again, then a steady, hopefully unrushed chug down the Staffs and Worcs to Autherley Junction, then up the Shroppie to Norbury Junction for our blacking.
