Got loads of damsons and blackberries and preserved most of them.


4th Bideford on Avon 5 miles, 2 locks
5th

Took photos of myself front, left and right, montage them as a background to my games page on the computer. I look quite gross with all the weight I have put on, perhaps looking at myself every time I want to play a game on the computer it will motivate me to lose weight.

Found a vet, D'fer got his second jab


11th

Hermione visited with Dave and we all took a trip into Stratford and back. Hermione leapt enthusiastically onto the seating at the front of the boat when we were approaching one of the locks and it broke and she fell through and badly cut and grazed her leg.


12th Stratford on Avon 3 miles, 2 locks
13th Stratford on Avon (river)
14th Stratford on Avon (Basin)

The lock was in my favour and open so I started cruising toward it when one of the helpers for the trip boat closed it as I was arriving. I managed to moor the boat just outside the lock and leap onto the back to try and see what was going on. Of course D'fer set up a loud barking and would not give over. I had to wait while the trip boat loaded up with people before coming into the lock. I was most discombobulated. There was a film crew trying to set up a scene for their film and they could not proceed as D'fer's barking was interfering with their microphones. When the trip boat eventually came through the helmsman apologised for the situation.


15th Bishopston 1½ miles, 5 locks

Tinnitus bugging me

Was Rosetta (the mission to land on a comet) aware that it was proceeding to it's demise for the benefit of mankind?
