Here's the thing - it has been an odd week. After all the excitement of leaving the marina and setting off we have had a slow start. In fact, I have not moved since Saturday.......
Monday, Mazey - the pretty Border Terrier - had to go to the vets for a check up. She has to go back in a month for another review. Phoebe "the little white dog" who has been an extra border for the past 10 days was dropped off back at her owners. Monday morning the Aldi boiler flue light kept going out. No hot water or heated radiators. Rob, the guy in the boat opposite us, came over to check and then set off to order the part.......

| Susan, Mazey and Phoebe 'chilling out' |
Tuesday, Susan had to go to hospital for a nerve impulse check on her hands....... The doctors are trying to confirm whether she has something called 'carpel/cubital tunnel'.... She has also developed a bad head cold and has been doing a lot of very loud sneezing and snuffling!!!
Wednesday, Rob did not turn up as the part had not been delivered. It kept trying to snow....
Thursday the river had iced over during the night. The morning was stunning with a bright blue sky and warm sunshine. Susan cleaned me on the inside and did lots of washing. Rob did turn up and re-fitted the pump as well as helped refill the water. Susan goes out for food shopping. A barn owl was scared off by a large black crow. It must have tried to steal its eggs!!! Once Rob had left, Susan decided to check out the new pump and put it on. Within minutes the pump started to make a very loud noise - which frightened Susan - so it was switched off by Pete. Rob came back over later that night and said that another 'bit' had gone and he would get it the next day!!!! He re-fitted the old pump back on. He said he would be back.......
Friday morning Pete switches the pump on and within minutes has to switch it off due to the noise........... Pete waits in most of the day for Rob to come and sort it out. No Rob..... Feeling unwell..... Susan hopes he has not caught her cold.... Pete takes this as an opportunity to varnish my interior wood. Susan goes and has her hair done in the hairdressers and a pedicure to cheer herself up.
Wonder if he will turn up tomorrow.........
