I Wonder If Anyone Still Reads This...

It's hard to believe we've been 'off' the boat scene for just over three years, with our last blog post nearly four years ago...

It's amazing this blog still has somewhat of a ranking on Waterways World.


Stay tuned if you're out there.

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...

Bread

It's been another fantastic day weather wise, to say its only mid-February. It's been 11 or 12 degrees for most of the morning and afternoon and full on sunshine. It really was lovely and meant we could even sit outside again for a little bit with the radio and a coffee. The best part is that the engine hasn't needed to go on yet either and the batteries have charged from 81% up to 99% this morning. Another plus is the stove is just on tickover - just a small handful of coal and all the vents closed off - its been like that now since yesterday and I've not even used a full bucket of coal in nearly two days! Well, Rob never came yesterday as the job he was doing was running a little later than it was supposed to. He is coming tomorrow though, which is better in a way, as Pawel will also be here then to go through things. ************************ Breadmaking My first job this morning was to start making the bread mix that I was talking about yesterday! It was pretty simpl...

Cladding Vs. Tiles

Well, everything from yesterday is now sorted, so I think, and today has been a bit more positive! Amongst the drama of yesterday, the cladding samples arrived at our local chandlery. Oh dear! I can see they'd be OK in certain environments: 1. Public toilet 2. Nightclub, or; 3. Nursing home(!) but they're definitely not right for in here: It's not the colours so much, or even the patterns, but my main concern is that when installed on the wall, they'll be no "grout" lines like with tiles or any sort of tongue and groove effect to break up each panel. So basically, it will look like one big mass of whatever design we'd have on the wall and I think that could look a bit cheap. You can get chrome inserts for between each panel, but again, I think this could look cheap and a bit "early 90s"!? There was one particular sample that we liked from them all, which was from a different range: With flash: Without: It's called "Woodland Beige" a...
