I know you’re reading this on a different day due to my blog being behind but Pinch Punch 1st of the month and no return! Sorry, couldn’t help it!
Talking about the space time continuum it’s now Thursday and for some reason I haven’t updated the blog. Not sure why, anyway I will try and remember what happened ((oh what sweet hell are we in for – I might give myself the day off… on the other hand I might stick around to see what she says!))
It was a peaceful nights sleep until the banging started. We peered out but couldn’t see where it was coming from but yesterday we had spotted two of the big generator/engines they use to pump water in/out of the water. I think they are usually water for farmers fields. As we go for a bike ride to have a look at the canal museum/café near Beeston Lock we spotted yesterday, we see some blokes using large hammers to beat the machine into submission and sure enough their technique works as when we arrive back BOTH machines are chugging away.
We end up deciding to move the pull the boat up the canal slightly to get away from the worst of the noise and actually it’s not too bad. I would imagine that come winter we will have to get used to that as people maybe fire up their engines/generators to get hot water/heating as they cruise less. Because the noise is consistent/constant – one or the other or both it one of them where you just keep tuning into it but realise what it is and tune back out. I know some people hate the sound but it’s like with my early days of writing. I knew some writers who couldn’t write unless the conditions were perfect and I decided that just wouldn’t be realistic to have those conditions, so I used to go to busy coffee shops to write so I learn’t to drown out the noise. I’ve written on a busy ferry when crossing from North to South Island in New Zealand. In busy coffee shops in York and anywhere I’ve found myself. ((Alright show off!))
Anyway where was i? Chris interrupted me I’ve forgotten. ((never mind Peachy. Not good to look back just move on…))
Oh yes, the bike ride earlier. Highly recommend if you’re in this area to pop to the Canalside Heritage Museum – what a fabulous place. Really interesting to read all the history and the gardens are amazing. Not to mention the homemade food available. Lovely place.
I think that was it for today. I did lots of the usual uploading/downloading for the vlogs as well as faffing. ((soooooooooooooo interesting Peachy! At least it was short so we can be thankful for that.))
Until tomorrow… x
