Small casualties

 Su-zee, as Jan says, we have our post delivered to DD1's house.

We had a couple of small casualties yesterday, caused by an out of control hire boat. A lot of them struggle to get to grips with the slow speed canal boats travel at. They frequently travel too fast because they are giving the engine too much welly.

After one such collision yesterday a photo fell off the wall and when I opened the cupboard to remove a carton of orange juice a jar of hotdogs leapt on to the floor. The had didn't smash but it started to leak.

So the photo has been put away in a drawer,and the hotdogs have been frozen.

Not your most enjoyable day. I guess the weekends are trying.

Thank heavens yours were small casualties...the guys on Silver Fox (Foxes Afloat vlog) had a cruiser crash through their kitchen window a few weeks ago, no-one was seriously hurt but how scary!

It is quite shocking that these hire boats can be taken out by pretty much anyone with not training or experience.

New neighbours.

A couple of days ago I met the couple who have purchased one of the flats here. The flat is over two floors, has two bedrooms, two bathrooms...
