Tomorrow we need to go to the service pontoon, we need fuel and a pump out.

Wish me luck, I need to take the dog out. I really hope she is quick as it is very windy as well as the wet. I should buy some water skies and just let her haul me over the saturated grass.

Oh look it is raining again. It is grim. Need to find my wet weather gear and the dogs raincoat. The hop down to the pontoon is now greater than I like.

OK sacked off love is blind. They were all so annoying and we'd only seen half a dozen of them. Now got on How to get to heaven from Belfast.

Just put on the new season of love is blind. They nearly all look the same, just different skin tones and hair colours. Same smiles, same dead eyes, same ghastly clothes (although they might not get to pick their own outfits) I do not think we will be watching much of this one.

My dream last night was an odd one. Living in a house with many people. A horse also lived in the house. A strange child who could shrink people into bubbles and they'd go flying around. All the post arriving wrong or damaged.

I am so tired, I have hurt my leg. My knee keeps twinging. I have so many things I want to do but my head says no, just sit in your blanket nest feeling sorry for yourself.

My neighbour has a bike on his roof, it has some sort of cover. Every so often it moves in the wind and I think for a second it is a person watching me. Definitely getting privacy glass when we change the windows.

Pontoon washing is going on again. It is a noisy activity. Going to drown it out with some loud music.

I have a new notebook. I hope it is sturdier than my current one. The pages fall out, not good when I am plotting the downfall of evil tyrants. My plans could fall into the wrong hands.

Seems we now own a contraption for keeping the fizz in bottles of fizz. Not that they last more than 2 or 3 days.

Got to get up. Dishes to do and I need a wee. If I did not wee I suspect I would stay in bed a lot more.

I am crying laughing at the draw a horse thing. Amount that went pastt that have no tail. Sadly did not see my own, but mine had 4 legs and a mane and a tail and ears.

Does anyone work for a UK company or organisation with an engineering focus? One of my favourite young people is looking for a summer internship or year in industry from July, before the 3rd year of her mechanical engineering degree. 1/2

The ducks are. being vocal today. Quack quack quack, surprised it has any quacks left.

Another damp grey day. My aged bones are creaking. Best pop my pills before I forget. Only vitamins but they help.

Been home alone today, so it feels like a Monday. I feel as if part of the weekend has been stolen from me. I am also still annoyed that an actor in Emily in Paris who is playing a Brit called the pavement a sidewalk. His accent was kind of Estuary/city boy.

Mr is eating some really spicy noodles. They have given him hiccups. I'm not sure it is a pleasurable experience.

Not stopped raining all day. I just looked out, the water is now about a centimetre from touching the underside of the pontoons.

There was a noise outside that sounded a bit like a banjo. I am really hoping it was just a plop of rain falling onto something. I Do not like the sound of banjos.

Another rainy day. I guess after such a dry year last year we need it, but I am rather sick of it now. Especially as I do not have a long rain coat. I have a short one and waterproof trousers, but getting that lot on just for a few minutes out with the dog is a pain.

The weather today is vile. Wet and windy. The dark sky matches my mood. Pinterest is driving me mad with the amount of badly written blogs it is sending me to for a recipe. It is like someone is churning them out by machine.

We are having brinner tonight. Trying to decide if I can be bothered to make hash browns or just do home fries.

Nothing like a bit of hard bounce/hard techno to drown out your neighbours really noisy central heating system.

The wagtails are back, not seen them or heard them for months. Also I see the teeniest slither of blue sky between the clouds. Hopefully we will get a little sunshine today.

Yay MC professionals is back. Think it is now my favourite. The 'normies' are now just too good and the celebs rarely seem to give a shit, they are just there to collect their pay cheque.

Drinking cold tea as I do not want to leave my blanket nest to make fresh.

I really hate the met offices new look. I keep switching it back to the old style but it does not remember. Why do websites keep changing something that worked just fine as it was.

Someone with a big bark is having a good old holler. Lucky for me Jess ignores it. I need to make a shopping list, peel some potatoes and carrots and get some tea brewing.

Just took the dog out. I thought I was going to get frozen to the spot. That wind has definitely got a bite to it.

Pots are clanking. This means the wind is picking up again. Best check the ropes next time I go out.

I could not (momentarily) remember a word so I wrote down crispy bum rice. I was after the word tahdig.

I'd love to do that puffin counting job. Mind you, I do not know how noisy they are. One marina we stayed at had resident crows. Dawn and dusk they would caw caw caw.

Must be something in the air, neighbours dog is barking and Jess has also been a bit unsettled.

So many things have made me go grr this evening. Not enough space to list them all.

Listening to a Gareth Emery set from White party Bangkok. Just flipped to the tab and oh my.... they have the male dancers out and they are all in very small tighty whities.

Dog is shedding like crazy. Just brushed one side and removed a tennis ball sized amount of fur.

Mr is watching some thing about modded supercars in Dubai. More money than sense these people and definitely a lack of taste.

I have an Aperol spritz. @floating-nomads.bsky.social are a bad influence 😍 If I close my eyes I can just about imagine the sunshine they are enjoying.

All the ladies so far today. Hannah Laing and now Novah. Busy on the pontoons today. Looks like I am not the only one getting ready to start planting.

I have a huge sausage roll for lunch. I can only just get my mouth open wide enough to bite it.

We have built the new shelf. It now has our big appliances and some of the bigger pots and pans on it. Next I need to shuffle stuff about in the kitchen. That can wait until I am home alone as it is just easier that way.

Ok sneezes stopped. Not as bad as I feared. They can sometimes go on for over an hour. I am guessing spicy food irritated my nose.

Oh dear sneezing fit. Typed this between sneezes.

That ship flag thing going round. Narrowboats need a whole new system. I think Towing - please be patient. Cats on board. Engine fucked - sorry we are moored here. Captain is drunk/stoned. Give us a wide berth. Dog who lives here is a shithead/good doggo. I play loud music day and night.

Bit of ACINA to keep me company this afternoon. Plans for the weekend are to build another shelving unit. I am sick of almost tripping over the random stuff we have laying about.

I have bought a couple of planters. I plan to sow some flowers, other seeds will be pushed between the piles of rocks that make up the marina side. Still need to go to the farm shop to get a bigger pot for my Christmas tree.

Meal plans done, windows unfogged, teeth brushed, dishes done, heck I have even brushed my hair. Now for a cup of tea - with a side of water to wash down my vitamins.

My task tonight while I watch tv is to clean up my bookmarks. I've let them get out of control again.

I need to locate a hair bobble. I am forever losing the stupid things. That or chop my hair several inches shorter.
