Back to the boat

We drove up to the boat today.First, we had a Memory Friendly Service to organise - or actually that is Christine's job and Mike only attends to the technical set up! It was well attended and some new faces - everyone seems to appreciate it, especially carers whose partner has gradually found it much harder to remember things in the short term.

We had loaded most things into the car the day before (Mike was singing in a concert in the evening) so there was not much left to do on Sunday other than the contents of our fridge.

The road was reasonably free with no delays, only a short comfort break at Leigh Delamere. It had been a rather grey day so dusk arrived early. Nevertheless, we were at the boat just after five o'clock.

All was well except that the lights did not come on despite being hooked up to a shore line. We started up the engine which gave us some light to investigate. The credit on the supply had all been used up but we had purchased a card just before leaving last time so were able to top with that and all was OK.

It was not especially cold so we were able to warm through quickly and to heat up the shepherd's pie made last week and brought with us.
