The Grand Union is not a couple of hundred yards from where I live, so narrow boats are part of life for me. I must have a go on one some day.

Happy belated birthday wishes to @Gravity Aided and @Hugh Manatee . Sounds like you both
I am also waiting for @Fab Foodie to return from his epic 230 mile ride. He did the Fnttc last night to Bognor and is now winding his way along the coast home. 15mins ago he rang from Brighton Marina.
Come on Foodie
Chapeau Fabbers, you'll sleep well tonight

Had a very nice ride out today..shoulder started cramping at 20 miles so headed back but a nice day for it.
Thers was a memorial ride from the Blubell pub Glinton today too..saw a lad who i think had hit the back of a volvo or crashed and the volvo stopped...
He was rather wet with claret and looked very dazed..but sat up..
St johns in attendance... as i passed the spot an hour later on my way back he'd been put in a proper ambulance..no police so most likely a fall and no fault accident.
Hope he's not too hurt but i suspect concussion and stitches required..

Well done on your escape from hospital and best wishes on your continued recovery.
I'm at Stafford services and hopefully my last service station stop for a very long time.

I hope everyone's toes/knees/and bums improve soon.
I have been very busy in my capacity of veterinary nurse, and gardener.
Long story short, Tasha was an extremely unhappy bunny wearing her collar/lampshade. She wasn't eating or drinking, could not get comfy for sleeping, and did not want to use the litter tray. Bob was very fidgetty because he could tell something was wrong with Tasha. I was getting very tired looking after Tasha. So, an Executive Decision was made on Thursday to remove the collar.
She was so much happier, eating and sleeping properly without the collar, and being able to go outside. But I was worried in case I had made the wrong decision. She was back at the Vet's this morning and seen by one of the Vets who examined her on Tuesday. He is pleased with her state of health, but they cannot be sure of the cause of the problem until next Friday. It could be a cancerous growth or an abscess, they cannot tell yet. The swelling above the eye is soft which is indicative of an abscess, but not definite.
