Well, here we are again, happy as can be…
We had a pretty straightforward run from Branston to Alrewas, leaving at eight and arriving at half ten. It was Sheila's turn to steer, and she slogged on despite a bitterly cold wind, muffled up in layers of fleece and wool.
I got some shopping in after we'd revived, bread from the Co-op, a paper from the newsagent and chicken fillets and pasties from Coates.
We've spent the rest of the day huddling in the boat with the stove well stoked. Sheila's finished subbing my book, so I've got a bit more work to do on it, with a final chapter to write and stuff to tidy up, then we might be getting near publishing it.
Tomorrow, off to the surgery for a blood test, and Sally sitting too. Should be fun.
Then Wednesday back to Willington, as long as the wind isn't too bad.

Don't get iced in away from your cosy marina - getting very chilly - and that's in Surrey!
Glad to hear that you're on the mend and on the move...

We're planning to head back tomorrow, when wind is more likely to be the problem, there's another low hurtling in.
Looks likely to be cold over the weekend, but still not the sustained low temps needed to freeze the cut. In fact, we've probably got this mild/cold/mild pattern until the New Year.

What book are you writing? It is psychology or boat/ retirement related or a combination of both?! Hope both of you are well? Heledd
Hi Heledd: mine is an eBook version of the Building Sanity Again blog, brought up to date. Sheila is doing one she calls a Boater's Commonplace Book, full of answers to the questions we get asked about our lifestyle.
So both basically boating, though of course everything I do is permeated with psychology, I just can't seem to get rid of it…
All the best

Sounds good. Let us know when they re out! It's great escapism for me to hear about your laid back life and a lovely contrast to my hectic life (in and out of the NHS!) Heledd
