My new buddie!

My dry buddie arrived today and is humming away to itself as we speak! So far, so good - it seems excellent and has almost dried the first set of clothes in around 30 minutes. Time will tell if it continues to be as good as so far. For those who have asked it came from the shopping channel and online store JML direct.

Clarence is looking good with it's first layer of paint on - OK, only undercoat and primer etc. but as Derek says, it's amazing what a difference a bit of colour makes!

The weekend forecast is very good and it's times like this I really miss the Ashby Canal! The urge to simply cruise for a while and moor up somewhere very remote with stunning views and listen to the owls at night after simply relaxing and doing nothing for a day is becoming just too much - it was almost worth being at Trinity; no - heck, what am I saying! I just need to watch the sun setting over the ponds here or look at the gradually changing colours of the trees and hedges to realise that's not true. I have some shopping to do tomorrow and if possible would really like to take Simba off somewhere for a walk and enjoy the sunshine while it's around!
