History in the making



What a wonderful weekend, the weather has been fantastic.. Its also history in the making, due to the ash cloud from the vocano in Iceland there are no flights in and out of Heathrow. It is amazing how the air is so much cleaner. However, I have not read any articles from Enviromentalist taking up this opportunitiy to study something related to this opportunitiy, so I do hope that somewhere, someone is near the airprt with an array of machinary calculating the impact of living near the worlds most businesses airport.

Today , I have been sitting on the front desk doing a bit of work. It got so hot, I had to go back inside the boat.

Nothing much has happened boat wise, just getting prepared for the journey. We have completed a shopping list of things we need to purchase such as new ropes, spare fenders and mooring pins. We did go to Southall to see a band play, we moored up and took a walk into Southall to puchase some curry and took it back to the boat to eat. It was lovely, far better than an indian resturant and all very fresh.

Matilda is still loving the boat life, she has done some wondering onto other boats but I am always in the fear that she is going to fall in again. Being in the Marina, I do wonder, if she did fall in how she would get out as there is no bank for her to grab onto.

So this is me for now.. I have attached some more photos, only 4 weeks left at work, I have a feeling that they are going to be longest 4 weeks ever.
