Hectic week.......

......for a boat dweller.

On Tuesday I walked into the village and got my haircut.

Wednesday saw me again walk into the village this time to visit the launderette to get a duvet cover and sheet washed and dried. Back on the boat I put a load of ‘normal’ washing through the machine.

On Thursday I headed off on foot in the other direction to an industrial estate to purchase oil for the engine oil change due shortly. Back on the boat I washed the bedroom and shower room floors.

On Friday I put the washing away and then washed the galley and saloon floors, exhausted now from the activity of the week I rested and read from my kindle, sometimes you have to chill, no sense in over doing things J

On Saturday I had a visit from my son Adam, daughter in law Natalie and granddaughter Hazel, after feeding the ducks we went off to in the car to Cassiobury Park where we had a ride on the miniature railway, a play in the playground then an ice cream, sadly the paddling pool area was all closed for refurbishment work, we walked through the park and down to the towpath on a circular route that took us back to the car and we went off for something to eat, it had all been exhausting for little Hazel and she slept while we ate our meals waking briefly as they dropped me back at the boat, it was a lovely day, thank you for coming to see me.

Just locking up before heading off to Cassiobury park.

A happy face on the miniature railway.

Yesterday was of course Fathers Day and I was treated to another visit, this time my ex-wife Elaine, two daughters Chloe and Anissa, and latest granddaughter Imogen, her first visit to Quinquireme. We spent a while on the boat chatting with me opening gifts and Imogen being fed before heading off to the recreation ground alongside the canal for a picnic, where we found a nice shady spot beneath a tree and chilled for a couple of hours, it was another lovely day and so nice to get some cuddles of the very tiny Imogen, she’s just five weeks old. Again thank you all for coming.
