How unusual!
I meant to say yesterday that doing all that stuff with sorting the bow locker and cleaning the Squirrel flue gave us a real feeling of having settled in for the winter. It's quite pleasant in its way, no more planning moves, checking the weather, calculating the chance of getting a paper at the next shop…
By February we'll be champing at the bit, ready to go again, but for the moment it's very nice to chill out (metaphorically, not literally) and plan how we're going to spend our time in the next few months.
There are the next two ebooks to write, and the Braidbar Owners' Group wants a Moorings Guide to go with the Pub Guide, so there's a bit to get on with. We've also determined that we're going to get at least two serious walks a week.
With that in mind, as well as going to the village for a loaf of bread this morning, we took a walk along the towpath to Stenson Lock this afternoon. There wasn't a lot of traffic about, considering that it's half term week, but we helped a CanalTime boat down the lock and saw just one privateer on the move as we came back.
Tomorrow is my birthday (no, I'm not telling), and we're dog sitting. I might get Sally to do the blog to save me the effort*, and we'll go out in the evening to The Dragon for a meal.
*I know, this is a barmy fantasy; I wonder if there should be a label for a new psychiatric condition: people who think that they are channelling their dog's thoughts onto Blogger or Twitter?
You want to try sitting a 34 kg Doberman Lurcher in your lap and holding her paws on the keyboard...

Looks as though half term is well staggered this year. Down in St Albans it does not start until the 27th. Perhaps our lot will invade you then!
Luckily there are enough of us channelling our dog's thoughts onto blogs/twitter/facebook that I think we can form our own peer group - within that group we're all quite sane! :-)
