Aldi for the night with complementary balls

Today was a slog on from Kirby Bridge to Kings Lock in Leicester. We broke the journey for an hour or so to miss the rain that came in buckets.
Jan spotted a new Aldi by the canal with some new railings and a large area of cut grass. As there was already one boat moored to the railings we decided to join them and get some provisions. By the time we got back to the boat is was pi**ing it down again, so we decided to stop the night.

As we came out of Aldi we spotted an Indian Restaurant across the road so it was curry for tea with a complementary side dish of some sort of minced lamb balls, they tasted great.

For the last few days we have had our eye on the river levels on the Soar as it all looks in flood. The plan tomorrow is to push on past Freemans Weir and get on to the secure pontoon at Castle Gardens, then reassess the water levels.
