The weather's not been nice today, right enough, though it's improving just a bit now. This morning, after a leisurely start, we ran a washload and did a thorough sweep of the boat, moving all the furniture out of the way and the like. I also lit the fire.
Before the washing was finished, we got a text from the Dolces, accusing us of wimping out of coming for hot choc/coffee. (I should explain that the eating area at the Trading Post is entirely outdoors.)
So we locked the boat up with the engine running and went and joined them. Easily led, that's our problem.
Since coming back from that, we've been lurking down below, reading, surfing the net, answering emails and so forth. From time to time, people huddled in their coats stroll, stagger or stride past on the towpath, classic August Bank Holiday Monday stuff.
Having run out of other stuff to do, I thought I'd get the blog posted in good time today, then we'll go for a cup of tea at the TP.
Tomorrow, a bit of boat shuffling will take place, then we'll come through for water, diesel, pump out, gas and coal before going on to High Lane for a night or two, for a change of scene and to avoid overstaying on the Deeps mooring.
Then it will be back here for the final prep for the big Weekend.
