Cinema and seeing family… Day 255

C.L. Peache

Tuesday 2nd April Day 255

What a lovely day we had today. I was working on the boat for an hour whilst Chris was prepping the other side of the roof ready to paint and also did lots of chatting to a couple. He moved our boat back a little bit so they could moor their boat near us and they had cruised a lot of the network so it’s great to get info from them re all the plans we have.

Then it was a walk into Hinckley as we have a rare treat of going to the cinema – I really wanted to see Dune 2 on the big screen and it was suitably epic! Then it worked out my cousins weren’t far away, so we met up with them for a coffee and catch up and then it was a visit to Aldi for nappies ((erm, please don’t tell me this is your way of breaking the news. I know it was 1st April in this world yesterday)) no, calm down – they are for the engine bay but it does amuse me when Chris talks about which type of nappies he’s getting. For those who don’t know we decided from literally day one of meeting that we didn’t want children, so a discussion about nappies has never been one we thought we would have.

By the time we got back to the boat it was 6pm ((dirty stop outs and so much for cruising!)) I know, but tomorrow we are intending to crank it and get maybe as far as the top of the Atherstone locks! We will see. Day done. Until tomorrow. x
