14th April '11

Losing track of time and date! Thank goodness for my phone or I wouldn't have any idea of the date or day!

We are still at Ditchford Lock and are now quite at home here! Darren has found us - he turned up yesterday morning at the same time as the men from the EA who wanted to mow the grass on the lock - unfortunately we were having a lie-in (for a change) and so had a hectic session of getting dressed - moving the boat across to the other bank and then filling with water while we had the chance before sailing back across the river to moor up again!

We are getting conflicting reports of when we are likely to be able to move - one says that it may be tomorrow or the day after and another says not until next Tuesday! At least with Kevin and the farm shop we are able to eat well on fresh vegetables - the down side being that he has started to stock biscuits as well - just as my weight was going down a bit!

We have walked miles - yesterday we went into Rushden to find a post office - we were gone 3 1/2 hours! but at least we were able to post our letter!

We have bought a generator - by internet and it was delivered here - but John is having problems with getting it to work to run the bigger things such as the washing machine - at least it is powering up the batteries so we can have the heating on and run the computer etc without having to turn the engine on. The nearest garage to get petrol is half and hours walk away so we are staying fit!

The weather has turned cooler but it's still not too bad - a few April showers but nothing to complain about. Still not enough unph to put pictures on but we will do it at some point.

John and Darren are busy tidying up the outside of the boats - at least we will look smart once we get going again!
