Possible overstay at Cassiobury Park!

Moored Cassiobury Park, Watford, Grand Union Canal

A lovely group of ladies passed to day on their regular morning walk.  “We often see you here” …. oooops had I missed some time somewhere,  is there another No Problem who moors in this same spot I wondered.  “I don’t think we have been here that long have we?” I tentatively asked…

Mind you it seems ages since we moored here in the Park, but looking at the log, it has only been since Saturday.  The ladies do their regular walking on a Monday and Wednesday they tell me, well that means they have seen us twice.  They did remark on how clean the boat was, especially the windows… I had to admit I had not cleaned the boat for a couple of months, telling them how lucky they all were to live in such healthy place that has clean rain for clean windows!

My poor aching back and my tired legs tonight.  I need some therapy for sure, think I will pour myself a large B&C.

The kitchen galley ‘ground floor’ is finished, all to do tomorrow is to fit back the trims, and check once again for any gas leaks having connected it all up again this afternoon.  Vic has a wonderful way to check for leaks, I didn’t know myself, so even after 14 years or so of marriage I am still learning from ‘my man’

“Put some water in that washing up liquid, we can check for gas leaks”… I gave him a look, and started to fill the bottle wondering what washing up liquid might do to leaking gas.. “OK done that”  He then poured a bit on to each joint that he had renewed, and stood back… nothing happened.  He then poured some on to old joints that he didn’t need to change.. then I saw it.  Bubbles! Just a few but I could see soapy bubbles!  Oh! Clever Stuff indeed!  A quick tighten of that joint and bubbles no more… probably just loosened itself he said as we had been moving stuff around.

So everything has found a home in the galley for now.  Cupboards to build yet over the new hob.  Not only am I gaining two thirds more workspace, but two thirds more storage as well!

What else… Oh yes, got to go get some water tomorrow from above Cassio Bridge Lock, pick up a Tesco Order and try turn the boat below that lock.  I say “try”.  The turning point is at an acute angle and almost directly after the lock exit.  On the side that my bow will probably end up there are overgrown bushes and rubbish….. Oh well just have to hope for the best!

That B&C was very nice, think I will go get another
