Ok, maybe not too quiet...

We'd had a report that there was a problem with one of the legs on the double bed in the lodge and spent part of the night worrying about it – we've got new tenants coming in tomorrow. First thing after the morning chores were complete, we popped into the lodge to see what could be done.

After stripping the bed and turning it on its side, things proved not to be as bad as we'd feared, as is so often the way. The socket into which the screw on the top of the leg fits was loose in its mounting. I've refixed it with construction adhesive and left it for 24 hours to set hard. The tenants don't arrive until the afternoon, so there'll be plenty of time to screw the leg back in and remake the bed in the morning.

Next came a walk round the marina, dumping recycling on the way. We had time for a natter with Jo and Wynne James, then went into the office to update Jules on the bed leg situation.

Back at the boat, we had time for a bit of a sit down and read before making lunch.

This afternoon, I turned to and emailed all those on the old Yahoo based Braidbar Owners' Group who had not yet logged on to the new website. We know that some of the emails with login details have been diverted to spam boxes, so a personal email has more chance of getting through. Those with hotmail and gmail accounts seem to be particularly at risk for losing stuff that way.

After another walk in the rather damp and cold conditions, we've settled down in the boat to catch up with crosswords and the like and are looking forward to a quiet evening and early night.

Sometimes Bruce when I take a quick scan through all the blogs something stops me and sends me into fits of giggles!

I can't type right at the mo hitting the wrong keys..

I am still giggling.. Gawd " there was a problem with one of the legs on the double bed in the lodge"

My mind is racing and I am not only concerned for your next tenants but tell me please..

Who were the last ones!

Do you advertise it as a honeymoon suite?

Sorry, still giggling! :D

Hi Sue

Glad to be a source of light heartedness!

I'm sorry, the identity of the tenants is confidential, but they weren't honeymooners. Indeed, we are getting better occupancy during the winter at the moment, mainly as a result of other boaters needing extra accommodation for one reason or another.

Keep smiling

All the best

Bruce
