Taking it fairly easy in Bollington

Although we weren't going anywhere today, we still woke in good time and had a serious lie-in reading the Indy and doing Killer Sudoku. We finally ambled up to eat breakfast, then made an early visit to the Co-op, buying a bit of the heavier stuff like soda water and beer. We’ll make a final trip tomorrow, including a visit to one of the butchers here.

Back at the boat, I decided to run off a letter asking for a repeat prescription to be sent to the Braidbar yard. Sure enough, the printer cartridge was reluctant to co-operate, but thanks to application of the warm water trick and the cleaning cycle on the printer we finally got an acceptable level of print out of it. (Thanks, Jenny, for the advice!)

After coffee, we cleaned and waxed the galley floor. We’re almost out of Osmo wax, so will have to wait until a fresh order is delivered to Braidbar before we can do the dinette and saloon.

We’ve been taking it easy this afternoon. The warmer weather means we can have the bow door open and listen to the intriguing snatches of conversation on the towpath.

Another easy day tomorrow, then on to Poynton on Tuesday for a rendezvous with the crew of Priscilla II. A visit to the Boar’s Head may occur…
