Sorted screens

Another leisurely start, in fact a two Killer Sudoku start, then a further trip into town for shopping. It may seem we've been doing a lot of that, but our next opportunity for serious supermarket shopping will be Stone in about a week's time on present planning.

We'd not been long back at the boat when Dave Miller from Cabincare rang to say he'd finished our flyscreens and to ask could he come round straightaway to fit them. It took him perhaps 45 minutes to do the four screens and they are just fine.


Each one is in a cassette, in the case of the side hatches screwed to the face of the frame. This is the saloon hatch.


And this the dinette


The actual screen is a fine black mesh, easily seen through.


The Houdini cassettes are fitted inside the existing frame so as not to reduce headroom. This is the galley


And this the bedroom. The screen is on a spring roller – a quick pull on the handles and it slides back into the casing.

We've been relaxing after lunch. Sheila is making great progress with the replacement porthole doilies and we had a call from Elanor. She had been doing one of her periodic visits to the marina to check out the lodge and to collect our post. She'll meet us at Tixall this weekend to deliver some beer supplies and the accumulated post.

Tomorrow, off we go again, heading for Deptmore after refilling the water tank here.

What?😱 Mention the new logo to him?😂😂. I've not heard a single voice in favour out on the cut or read a word in favour online (apart from CRT people).
