You guessed it… Day 222

Thursday 29th February Day 222

Yes, another coat of paint. ((Can you just get it finished now and get back to cruising. I’m bored of the DIY!!)) You’re bored! Think how we feel. We had to buy some new paint but unfortunately didn’t buy the water based one so this one stinks and takes an age to dry. ((I’m saying nothing)) We are due to leave the marina tomorrow and the boat is still in a tip and loads left to do so we might try and stay a few more days.

We try and clear one thing hanging around in the way by cutting up the rug which was in the lounge, which we no longer need now we have fitted the new carpet, and it fits in the bedroom perfectly after much musing, measuring and faffing. What a difference to have a nice comfy carpet under foot. It’s also one less thing to trip over. It only takes one thing out of place or in the way to make living in a boat that much harder due to the lack of space.

Not much else to report today as we get ready for leaving the marina. ((Make the most of these smaller blog posts people as there are some epic ones coming when Peachy gets cruising again – be warned)) day done. until tomorrow. x

After living in various parts of the UK, including Wakefield, York, Derby, and the Yorkshire Dales, I now live on a Narrowboat cruising the canal network. I enjoy reading, writing, travelling, walking, kayaking, watching all forms of motorbike racing and socialising (networking). At the beginning of my writing journey, I started my blog which tracks the ups and downs of writing. ((I need to mention that my blog posts are usually visited by ‘Brackets’!)) To the books… My fantasy series, Festival of Time was completed with the publication of Book Three: Battle in November 2022 and now joins, Book Two: Rescue, and Book One: Escape. Click ‘books’ on my website to find out more and follow me on social media for updates – I love chatting with readers and authors.
