Abandoned Boat – The Saga Continues

Busy couple of weeks. Mother has fractured a vertebra and is in a nursing home, so there was a mad dash to get Gaia cat into a cattery and then find a B&B in Peterborough. The nursing home was a fair way aways, but the weather wasn’t too bad for travelling by train.
In the ‘no good deed goes unpunished’ department, I helped a young woman with too many bags up the stairs near Peterborough station. I was told it was full of shoes, but I think she was smuggling gold! Felt a twinge in the old back that got progressively worse over the next few days. In the end I was hard pressed to get comfortable and sitting up was not an option.
Feeling sorry for myself, I just mainly watched the telly and read, with the occasional trip, full of moaning, to the make tea.
Over the worst and riding a bike makes my back feel better, so I went out for a few miles and spotted the abandoned boat. It seems to have been cast adrift and is floating back towards to Slough. Guess its friendship with the other boat was doomed as that one has moved on.
The picture is from my video camera as I forgot my other camera.

So sorry about your mom. And glad you're improving from your injury. Take care of yourself.

I'm so sorry this happened to your mother. That must be so painful--poor thing. Maybe someone could take the boat and refurbish it?
