It was cold yesterday and we had to manage without any heating as we had some work done on the boat. We had the bedroom door changed over, it used to open inwards but didn't open fully as it opened against a wardrobe and the bed. This meant I had to part open the door, walk into the room and then close it before getting into bed. It now opens into the corridor and is much more convenient.
We also booked the engineer to fit an immersion heater which he did, we asked him to check out the flue on the multi fuel stove and the grill under the hob. The flue is not fit for purpose so we've ordered a new one and our current one has had a temporary repair.
The grill cannot be used until new parts have arrived for it.
We had torrential rain on Wednesday night and on Thursday the jetty and parts of the marina were underwater. The local sluices are not automatic and the person who should have opened the slices had a broken arm. Eventually someone was found who could open the sluices and the water levels slowly returned to normal.

The water issue must be quite scary when you actually live on it, so pleased it all turned out alright in the end.
It seems a while since you last posted, Hester. Nice to hear from you again!
You certainly live with challenges! Have you always been so adventurous?
I wonder how you do laundry, I don't remember reading about that and would be interested to know. Thanks.
Hester, I so enjoy hearing about life on the water. Your blog is very much enjoyed here in Ontario, Canada!
