Alright, alright ... have some pity. There should be a "do not operate machinery - even a computer - after a day of hard canalling" warning somewhere around here. Yes - Yes -Yes - It IS still May. Thank you (all) for pointing that out.
We're on the outskirts of Reading; and 'way ahead of our cruising schedule ... hooray!
Our friend: Tony O'Neil; - he of the locking crew - reports that our anchor and chain have been delivered and now in the boot (trunk) of his car, and awaiting onward shipping. He'll bring them to wherever we are tomorrow (Saturday) afternoon, and then transport us to Graham Metcalf's 70th. birthday party. Lyn will be driving us back to the boat afterwards, when we shall likely be very tired again!
Today was - as forecast - a bit damp, so we were quite lazy for the forenoon hours. The sun is now shining, and the River Thames beckons ... although we shall resist his (Old Father Thames) blandishments until Sunday.
Day 4 (Friday, - yesterday wasn't, actually, Tuesday - 29th. May) 9 miles & 10 locks.
Loving this blog. Always look forward to the next post. Ken and Sharon in Calgary.
