It was indeed a good move to stay put and beg a lift for Sheila from Elanor today; the wind has been quite dramatic at times, real boat rocking stuff. Nonetheless we had a peaceful night; there were some kids charging about and shouting during the evening, but never in a particularly threatening way, and anyway, being part of a long line of moored boats is itself reassuring.
Today, we pottered about, getting a paper from the Co-op and both Canal Boat and Waterways World from the newsagent/Post Office. This meant that we found out that for the third year in a row we've been in the money entering Martin Ludgate's Christmas Quiz, so that's another bottle of Famous Grouse to dispose of.
Sigh.
Doesn't anybody else enter this quiz? For the second year running, they only gave out two prizes, though the original offer was that the best three, or three out of the hat if there's a draw, would get a prize. Counting up the scores, we reckon we got 67 right out of 70, one of our best yet.
Elanor rolled up after lunch and took Sheila away whilst I took Sally for a walk along the towpath. All this went well, and Elanor has just gone off again to take Sally to agility.
We'll have a quiet night, then back to Branston tomorrow, stopping at Shobnall for a pump out and maybe some more coal.

wonder how long it will be before you get this years bottle?
