It was an early start this morning, so that I could be on the doorstep of the surgery at ten past eight. This meant that I got an early appointment to see the GP, and was all done by nine. Sheila was getting sorted as I came out, so by half nine we'd finished with the whole health bit for the time being. I'd not hesitate to recommend Alrewas as the boater's GP, and once the new arrangements are in place,whereby you'll be able to register at any practice of your choice, they'll be ideal for the continuous cruising liveaboard.
Back at the boat, we ran the engine and did a washload, and Sheila hung it out to dry on the whirligig. Although it's no longer the weekend, there has continued to be a parade of passers-by on the towpath, taking advantage of the spring sunshine.
The moorings emptied and refilled during the day, so here at least, at the moment at least, the system is working reasonably well. Having said that, some of the new arrivals are well known to us as local lurkers, so I may be being my usual optimistic self.
As planned, Elanor and Sally turned up after lunch, and Sheila took Sal for a walk whilst Elanor and I went to Morrisons and stocked up on the heavy goods like wine, milk and rice. They're going to stay for dinner, and then go on to the obedience class which is held nearby.
Tomorrow, we'll head off towards the Shroppie, going in gentle stages, probably only as far as Fradley for starters.
