I arrived at Braunston a day ahead of plan so that I could arrange to have the shower looked at. It doesn't switch off so I have to keep the water pump off all the time. I called to see friends that I met last year - they have boats in the marina. Lunch turned into supper and we were chatting all afternoon AND evening. It was lovely to see them again.
I was able to leave Olivia at the boatyard as she was to be looked at in between coats of boat blacking for the yard's other customers. Today she now has a brand new shower as the existing one was past its sell by date. It seems to be a year of "doing up" the boat. Meanwhile, my poor old car had to be MOT'd and needed a timing belt, brake discs and a spring (a large one I think).
Yesterday I popped down to London to meet up with Rose for lunch and then we met Luke for supper. We all had tickets to see the Homage to Sandy Denny at the Barbican. It was really excellent and reminded me what a brilliant songstress Sandy was. My record collection will be dusted off shortly for a Sandython.
