Here's a novel idea....let's make today a 'Good News Day'.
Only posts with something positive to say....be it about your boat, weekend plans or even (wait for it) the Thames itself.
I'll start....
I'm going to see Byron .......

Two beers please, my friend is paying.

After breakfast, I'm going to take a 26' slice of larch down to the pontoon to keep me occupied for a few days/weeks/months.

I get my new fenders delivered ready to pick the boat up next week (not that I am unhappy about the delays in that, it is A-OK).

Did you see the blonde sort on the platform with him? No wonder he won, I'd vote for him too just to see her.

Picked up my new (to me) Landrover yesterday; a 90 diesel (via ebay!).
have had a 109 and a 110 (both petrols), have always wanted a 90.
Obviously i won't be able to afford any fuel for it, but it looks pretty good (c:

Hmmm I see a trend here RR. Any smaller and you'd have to go the way of a Light-weight...
Boats and Landrovers; the poor mans nirvana!

We had some new carpet fitted at home and have enough left over to replace the rather tatty affair in the saloon on the boat. Heading down to the marina tomorrow after missing out last weekend to measure up.
Heading out with friends on Sunday, but a bit concerned about the weather forecast. Took the same friends this time last year overnight at the islands at Shiplake. HIgh winds and a rapidly rising river saw the mooring pins pulled out a couple of times during the night. Are we tempting fate taking them to the same place again?

Spent a glorious couple of days on the boat, going upriver to Chertsey. The weather was idyllic, the waters calm, no probs with the boat, and best of all, no robos out on a Friday!
Hope some of you were out enjoying the sunshine too
