The barge poles etc were given another coat of primer. Brenda walked up to see Susan at the chandlery. She had kindly agreed to accept a package of vape juice. With all the vape shops closed Brenda had been running dangerously low.

In the afternoon we sat on the benches in hot sunshine. Brenda continued with the chair covers and reading while I attempted to relearn the continuous crowning knot to make cabin strings.

We again had the local family walk pass. The kids love the dog as m uch as he loves them. He recognises them from afar and it’s great watching them all play together.




     



Highlights of the day: first thing in the morning we had a Jay feeding off seed from the feeders that had dropped onto the ground. Although part of the ugly crow family, this is a lovely colourful woodland bird that is not often seen; a Heron sat most of the day just about 12 feet from the front of the boat; while painting the barge poles, a rabbit crossed the clearing, no more than 6 feet from me; while cooking dinner there were dozens of Roach on the surface of the water right outside the side door.



Weather: after a chilly start, a lovely hot sunny day.
