We were due back on TM yesterday but I made the mistake of taking notice of a very poor weather forecast which turned out to be rubbish, so a good day was wasted. Note to self: get fir cone and some seaweed and stop taking notice of the Met Office.
When we left TM she needed a clean so last Wednesday we popped back and spent a couple of hours cleaning and scrubbing. The biggest problem is getting Spot fur out of the pale coloured carpet in the living room. We also managed to find time to have a lunch of chicken wings and a pint of Hooky at the Admiral Nelson. The food was so good we booked a table for Sunday lunch.
After dumping all our stuff today on TM we nipped over to the Admiral Nelson for lunch washed down with a couple of pints of Hooky. We sat in the bright sunshine next to the canal and ate rare sirloin of beef with Yorkshire pud, potatoes roasted in goose fat and perfectly cooked veg - a separate dish contained cauliflower cheese, the sauce had horseradish in it - unusual but delicious. You could cut the beef with a fork!

So yet again today the prat from the Met Office was totally wrong! £10M on two Cray supercomputers, a bucket full of PhD's in non- linear maths and chaos theory, and they can predict the weather with the same amount of certainty as I can with a fir cone and a bit of seaweed!
Getting back into the boat mode - a few slurps, radio on and a good book on the Kindle. Jan reading Ozzy Osbourne's life story "I am Ozzy" at the mo; says she can't understand how he's survived so long particularly after the abuse he's given his body but he was still awesome when we saw him at Download.
This week we are hoping to meet up with my cousin Mike and his wife Elaine as they live only a few miles from Crick, no doubt, more food and drink!
IT'S A HARD LIFE AFLOAT!
