Brenda still has to have her prescription completed from Boots in
Devizes. The more progress we make down the canal, the further away we are
getting. As it is, it would take a 2½ hour, 3 bus journey to get there.
Gary and Lisa off nb Caroline have agreed to take Brenda into Devizes on
Saturday when Lisa is next working.
So in effect we are stuck until then.
We both spent the day doing various jobs. Brenda has made a good start
on the roof bunting and I finished off making a table top for the sewing box in
the front cratch, which Brenda has given the first coat of woodstain to, and
made a shelf for storing porthole bungs in the bathroom corridor.
Caroline has several problems with her engine which I had told Gary I
would look at. The propeller creeps ahead even when in neutral. In the four
years they have had the boat, they have never checked the gearbox oil level or
changed the oil!
The level was below minimum and the oil was black. We decided to
change the oil but had one hell of a job getting the drain plug off. Just
changing the oil and filling to the correct level thankfully, solved the creep
problem.
Weather: hot.
