A day out on the train to Sheffield to visit Meadowhell or is that Meadowhall shopping centre? There was no opt out option for this. Our daughter is getting married and insists her parents look less like relaxed scruffs.
the result was her mother now looks very happy with new outfits, even though I allowed her to buy something a year or three ago. I, too, have a new suit etc.

Escape for a Few Hours
We managed to escape to Jubilee for a few hours on Monday. Lit a fire to defrost the windows. Spent some time checking over the boat and cleaning away mould and leaves from the cabin sides.
We put the new BW licence on show. At £5 odd minimum wage that took some earning, and the Boat Safety is due in April. We went to some boat fitters for quotes for a bit of work to prepare her. Alasdair Lawrence did the last certification. We had hoped to be living aboard before now but finances dictate otherwise. The house needs work, the boat needs work and well, you can guess the rest.
We shall take her to Jane and John at North Kilworth Wharf for a little TLC soon.
Anyway we had a good lunch at The Red Lion Crick and enjoyed a freezing afternoon on the boat, arrived home at 8.30pm for chicken fricasse and mexican rice. All in all, a good day. Now back to work! Mr.T.

Winter Preparation
Well, Dirty finger nails again. Some work done and water pipes and clips replaced. Stop one leak, create more and find another hose that has perished and swollen, add it to the list.
RCR came and did the annual service and filters. One had clogged up again after only 50 hours. May need to keep an eye and check the tank again.
The wind has been very strong and I got up in the night to adjust the fenders which had jammed under the staging when the water levels rose and were pulling us to one side and twanging and screaming.
The BW licence is due and we don't have enough saved up for it yet, ouch. We will need to tighten our belts somewhat and try for extra hours work to bolster the funds.
