We've made another successful foray into Burton. The first bus that we can use our bus passes on leaves from the stop just down the road from the marina at 10.24, so it's possible to have a relaxed start to the day, getting various chores done around the boat before setting out. Fortunately, we got to the stop in good time, as the bus was early.
I collected my new varifocals, we found a new pair of boots for Sheila in Millets, and did a bit of shopping in Sainsbury's before getting a sandwich lunch in Marks and Sparks. Then we collected the engraved IWA trophy from the jewellers and had a half hour wait before the bus back was due. So we popped into WH Smith and bought a couple of puzzle books, Codeword for me and Killer Sudoku for Sheila. We were still hanging about for a bit, but the bus was prompt, and we got back to the boat by half one.
A successful session all round. It's being another clammy sort of day, so the fire's well stoked, and we've spent the afternoon relaxing, by and large, except Sheila did a bit more crochet, of course; I'm not sure whether that counts as hobby or work, as she enjoys it, but it's a paid for job.
Tomorrow, we might go on a walk that's organised locally, depends on the weather, methinks.

Bruce,
Do you and Sheila know killersudokuonline.com? There's a new puzzle every day and you can do them on line, filling in possibilities and definites and checking your work as you go. Once it's loaded you can go off-line so you're not using up your Gb allowance. I've really enjoyed it. They were far too hard to start with, but I began to get the hang of them and can can now do most, except the "mind-bending" category. Good for winter evenings when crochet doesn't appeal!

Many thanks for that link Martin, that's great. I'm particularly pleased to have a source of "greater than Sudoku" they're quite hard to find. As for "greater than killer" I've not come across that before, should be fun.
