Still hot and likely to remain so

It's staying pretty hot here, mostly to the pleasure of the moorers, though Stewart on the ground staff is not too amused. We'd planned to wash and polish the side of the boat this morning, but at nine it was already too hot to do so, both because the hot side of the boat would have cooked the polish and we would have been courting heat stroke.

So we had a quiet morning after a wander round the marina. After the mid morning drink of squash rather than coffee, I decided to catch up with some IT work, like bringing the Braidbar Boat names list up to date and putting a load of entries into the pub guide.

The first of these tasks took longer than expected as the file which I had been keeping updated on the iPad wouldn't transfer properly to the Mini. It may be because the Mini is running Snow Leopard and most of the iPad software expects at least Lion and preferably Mountain Lion.

In the end, there was nothing for it but to make the changes all over again on the copy of the spreadsheet I had on the Mini.

I got a start on the Pub Guide before eating and carried on afterwards. I'd had a lot of new entries from Graham as well as some entries and comments from Rob and Charley. I haven't got them all done yet; they'll have to wait until tomorrow to finish off.

This is because I've spent a good chunk of the afternoon over at Elanor's, helping to do some sorting out and taking away some books and a ridiculous talking fish to put in the laundry. The fish wasn't in there above a minute before someone went off with it.

A bean curry, tonight, methinks and more sweltering to do tomorrow.
