10thJuly '12

Not had any connection for last few days, but am getting intermittent 3G here. Not had any more early starts and no more accidents. My knee is still swollen and sore but can live with it. We are back at Shugborough after a night at Weston and some decent weather. It has now turned nasty again and we hear that the river section between Alrewas and Wychnor is shut and the licks chained because of the height of the river! We are next to the Trent here and it's running very high and fast so am not totally surprised. Our return is likely to be delayed. We went over the servants section of the house today and it was fascinating. Definitely worth a visit. Luckily I have lots of wool with me, I can be delayed for a while without running out of projects! Paddy is back to refusing to walk as its wet, but strenuously objects to everyone else walking on 'our' bit of towpath... Oh dear. If it brightens up tomorrow we shall head on a bit to see how things are, no real problem, I'd just like a good Internet connection, my wants are few! Oh, we had a small incident. The other night we were both kept awake by a scrabbling sound in the roof. John suspected a mouse and bought a trap in Stone. Hey presto, next morning one dead mouse and no more sounds in the night! Where it came from and how it got in is a mystery, anyone heard of this on other boats?
