An Early Start

-
It was an early start this morning as Edward had his appointment at the vets at 9:45 and we had to have breakfast first, sort Eddie out and get down there. It must have felt even earlier for Pawel as he didn't get in from work until 3AM!

The vets was probably one of the best ones I've ever been to. She was really thorough, explaining about the kennel cough vaccination and explaining that dogs can still pick up the infection even after inoculation. She also found out for us that Eddie was due a booster vaccine. So, two vaccines all together! One up the nose and a needle in the back!

I have to say, I've never known Edward be so well behaved. Normally around people, he's bouncing around all over the place and making really annoying whining noises! However, when the vet was talking to us he just sat down, looking up at us all! He was even quiet in the waiting room.

I remember about 2 years ago when we last took him to the vets, he was crying so loudly in the waiting room that even the receptionist made a comment - something along the lines of: "Oh dear, what's the MATTER!?"

Looks like he's growing up! It only took 3 years! (Which apparently means he's now 27 in human years or thereabouts!)
We returned back to the boat and he's been the quietest dog ever - not sure if he's just worn out or if the vaccines have made him feel a bit ill. At one point I thought he was dead as he suddenly outstretched his legs and they'd gone stiff:(!)



Aww!

Nothing else happening here at the moment. I've had a bad day with my knee and in quite a bit of pain today so I'm taking it easy too for the rest of the evening.

You'd think me and the dog were two 90 year old women!!

Where Can I Begin?

It's been nearly 9 months since I last blogged and I can't actually believe it's been that long - feels like it was just a few weeks ago really. At this stage then, I'm not sure if there'll be any readers out there, but I suppose if I want to carry on chronicling life on the boat, I need to make a start somewhere! I think the reason for the lack of blogging is, in part, because I was boring myself (never mind anyone else that reads it!) and it was starting to feel a bit too personal. I seemed to be detailing my life over the internet for anyone to read and I suppose in some ways, I was starting to get a little uncomfortable with that. However, that's what blogging is, I know! It's a diary of sorts, which is obviously only one 'facet-of-a-diamond' in terms of "our life", but still somewhat a diary and not what I initially thought would be just a way of referencing what we had done or had fitted (etc) in the boat. I have missed blogging somet

Even on Boxing Day we manage to find time to do some "boaty" jobs! We basically finished off the wiring-in of the new small inverter that we've fitted on a 12v cigarette socket directly to the batteries for the TV and aerial. We still had the thick cable hanging down the wall to the sockets which looked a bit of an eyesore and I couldn't bear it any more! It all looks neat and tidy now and we've really noticed an improvement with the battery capacity. With everything we usually have on, using the main inverter was taking around 10-13% out of the batteries an hour, which was way too much! With this new inverter we are only using around 3 or 4% an hour which means a lot less engine running time ! It's fantastic. I think this also shows that it WAS the main inverter that was using the battery capacity and the batteries aren't knackered after all! So if there's any people out there who are planning on getting a new inverter or are fitting a boat out etc, D
