Took my walk and went to see how the sunk boat is faring. It has been emptied out of rubbish, but is still full of water. I guess getting it afloat again is a bit of a poser. Certainly, I have no idea how to go about it. Still...

Ron Rybs I thought that would be the way to do it, but the cost must be big. The plan is keep walking past and see how things are doing

On my canal amble I saw this weird looking boat. I was fairly certain it used to be a lifeboat from a North Sea Oil Rig and a quick search online proved that was the case. Normally bright orange these lifeboats/lifepods are sold...

Well, I guess today's storm is over, unless another one brews up. It looked like it was about 8:30 PM. when I first got up, and a storm was imminent. I had just decided to put my little cherry tomato plants outside to get some...

My eating is out of control. I'm barely eating any "food" but eating a ton of chocolate. I've been through this cycle before. It's exasperating. I know better. It's an ADDICITION. It takes over you. It makes you crave it...

Ron Rybs Narrow boating is very popular. Lots of people live on them full time. In London there is Little Venice which is basically a floating town. It used to be cheap to live on a narrow boat, not so much nowadays. In the summer boating holidays are also popular....
