Boat work on ice

Bit of a jobs day today. The housework needed doing (or should that be boatwork), so out came the hoover and duster. After a spruce up and a load of washing, we contemplated moving, but decided to stay put until the weekend. The ice is still quite thick in places, and the ducks are skating not swimming!

Del went off on his bike to retrieve the missing stamps from yesterday, and post some letters.


Later in the afternoon there was a loud cracking noise from outside, and we watched nb Harnser attempting to break the ice as they needed water. It was quite a job breaking through, but the problem is if you need water or a pump out, then you just have to try and get to a tap or a pump out station.

Tonight? Just chilling out by the fire with a glass of wine and a film :-)

that duck would needs warming up about 180 degrees 40 mins and a bit of orange sauce sounds about right
