A last day at Alrewas

Well, at least until next week…

It's been another quiet day; I'm pretty well fully recovered and Sheila is well on the way. The internet connection has been more spasmodic than usual; maybe the mobile phone systems are getting more use whilst BlackBerry are struggling.

Apart from that, not much to report; walked the pooch, bought a copy of the latest Waterways World, that's about it, really.

There should be more to talk about tomorrow, when we boat to Branston for the weekend, coming back here on Monday for the last appointments (hopefully) on Tuesday and Wednesday. Then it will be back to Burton for the opticians and we'll be done for six months.

We'll have a little bit of time to kill before the start of our winter moorings at Mercia Marina.

Oh, and my pre-ordered Kindle copy of the latest Terry Pratchett, Snuff, has been delivered , just in time for my birthday. Nice.

Happy birthday Bruce and thanks for the lock wheeling.

A belated happy birthday. I'm not sure how much the Kindle copy of Snuff was but Tesco had it hardback for £5.00p. The cheapest Pratchett I've ever bought from them.

Thank you Graham. It was £8.54, about the same as the ppb price from Amazon; I'd pre-ordered it some months ago, and so its arrival came as a nice surprise.

We buy almost all our books in Kindle form these days; saves space, and you can look up the hard words straightaway…

All the best

Bruce
