3rd Oct.'12

Writing this on the iPad as I don't feel up to getting the computer sorted. Have had a temperature today, so can't wear contact lens, hence quite tired.
We have had a great day, all things considered. We left early (for us) and have travelled 18 miles and done 7 locks, all in 7 hours! We are now moored at Penkridge, and John is off to find an Indian takeaway shortly! Just what the doctor ordered!
It has stayed dry and been sunny most of the day, which was a bonus. It's meant to be ok tomorrow but then horrible again, so we want to get some miles behind us.
We are now half way up the Staffs and Worcs canal, and its rather nice. Very winding, obviously one that follows contours, rather than go in a straight line. I took some pictures, but can't load them from here today, will have to catch up when I'm a bit more together.
