Weekend at last!

What a hectic week - at last the weekend has arrived, now time to relax but before then I have 3 loads of washing to do, hoovering, cleaning, water to take on board etc. etc. Just spent 2 tokens on the 'commercial' washing machines the marina provides only to find that they did nothing - it took over an hour to complete a cycle that had 35 minutes ont he screen and then the washing came out dirty but sodden: it appeared not to clean or spin dry. Just another sign of general lack of maintenance or care from the marina over recent years. I am now sitting here havign to put it all through half a dozen loads in my small on-board washing machine before daring to try the drier machines in the wash block, I can see this taking all night!

I plan to spend the weekend in the marina sorting out the boat, tidying up lockers, cleaning etc in readiness for the next hectic few weeks leading up to Christmas. Watch this space!
