The wood as now arrived
At last I can start the repairs to my boat dog boxes the wood will be arriving tomorrow . Other than that I have not done much to write home about although the time seems to have been used up doing other odd jobs on the boat .
Its not been all plain sailing as one night yobs stole a solar lamp off the boat and this afternoon I had to call the police because 3 youths were breaking into a building and attempting to steal lead off the roof.

The weather is just right for painting
Yes its time to do some repairs and painting so no peace for me .We have enjoyed a day in the sun and we have made the most of it by topping up our suntan. Tomorrow I will start on the repairs to my dog boxes by replacing some of the hinged flaps before the winter returns ,well it will soon be here as they are advertising Autumn on the Tv.

The work continues
Today I have fitted the new inverter so now we can do the washing once more. Well we brought a new washing machine which will only work from pure sine wave electricity so now I have a modified sine wave inverter to sell for about £200 if any one is interested phone 07960 363240. Tomorrow I might get a day off if I am lucky.

No I have not changed the boat
Well I am back again thing are mad at the moment .We woke Tuesday to find water poring from the squirrel fire and found the boiler had sprung a leak. So much expense new boiler new pipework and unions and now I have to cure the small leaks and get the boat ship shape again. Maybe we will get a chance to go for a cruise( well we hope so).If anyone is interested it is possible to change the boiler without removing the top of the fire .

Waiting for the return of summer
Yet another day at Fazeley and the good news is we now have more power after fitting 4 new batteries .We have had a nice day with a visit from our daughter and family to help us celebrate our wedding anniversary and my pending birthday (yes another year older) but still blogging on. Depending on the weather tomorrow we may take a short cruise down the Birmingham and Fazeley canal just for a change of scenery.

Yet another lazy day at Fazeley

What are we doing ? NOT A LOT
We are still at Fazeley moored up with lots of our friends .With a bit of luck we will get some more summer (well we can only hope) at the moment it looks more like winter has returned .Well thanks to Graham we now have plenty of coal to keep the home fires burning..It sounds like gale force winds outside so I will stoke up the fire and stay put until summer returns.

We have returned to Fazeley
We have arrived at Fazeley today and will spend time meeting all our friends in the area.Having spent two days at Valley Cruisers base at Nuneaton and caught up with the washing .Owing to the fact that our generator will not run the new washing machine we had to plug into a electric supply which Valley Cruisers supplied .

Joys of boating
Yet another sunny day we decided it was time to do the washing in our new washing machine but it will not work on our new generator, O Dear whoops.So we have managed to get a couple of days mooring with electric at Valley Cruisers/Outboard Energy. Our cruise will continue on Sunday with all the washing done and diesel tank filled up.

The Cruise Continues
The cruise continued from Braunston tunnel and it was good to see they had started the work between the tunnel and the top lock. Lets hope that BW then go on to fix the leaking gates at Watford and Foxton.We have moored for the night at bridge 81 near the prison I hope they don't escape.We came down Braunston Locks with a very nice couple on Nb.Cider with Rosie so maybe Dave and Rosinda will remember the experience.
