shortages and that it wasn't just us boaters. Look at this poor feller having to fill up his house tank by bucket!
Sorry about the poor picture quality (and no, I haven't stuffed another camera) but I was twitching through the nets. Yeah, ok, he had a chimney fire but it was all very exciting for a while.
I took Daisy with me as she'd been kept in the boat for 10 days and was pretty fed up - it was nice for her to ponce about outside and grind her teeth at the seagulls. I managed to get a temporary fix on the shower and get the plumber out on Tuesday. I also manged to get 4 loads of laundry through the washing machine.
So here I am, back on the lock and carting water in canisters. What's most worrying me is that we are now rationed to one shower every 3 days - having had 3 showers in 3 days at mum's, does that mean I can't have another for 9 days?
As you've probably gathered, I've been back to Mum's for a few days - that land of constant showers and washing machines. Except, when I arrived, her shower was jammed! Oh how my heart sank.
