proper lemonade is not clear

Our Zara didn't mind the boat at all, especially liked the walks she got and the scenery like on the Llangollen, was usually to be found curled by the radiators or in front of the stove, but was a bad judge of jumping off the stern which prompted the purchase of a harness. Gone now and sorely missed

that's not a pug, that's a loaf

it's not a patch on Finch, Chimps & Mushy Bees though

Semi-trad. Lifted the hatch by the tiller to check on a calorifier leak we'd had fixed to see if there was any water in the bilge, decided there was not enough light so lifted the board forward of the hatch which was now bloody heavy due to one of the other owners having fitted checkerplate on top, so started walking it backwards to put it on the towpath. That's correct dear readers, i had forgotten about the lifted hatch and stepped back into thin air, luckily the exhaust silencer stopped my descent to the bilge, but not before i'd barked my entire shin and taken the cabin side to the armpit. Left me with a rather bloody shin and an underarm bruise the size of a small plate. The leak was fixed though

i always figured that had more to do with the amount of traffic on there for all the businesses in the old mill and needing to be a through road to get over the bridge etc. that and CRT always claiming its unstable, too unstable to moor a boat on the rings, but stable enough to drive all manner of vehicles on

@Kudzucraft do you have a link? i've often thought that when we eventually leave shared ownership for our own boat i'd like some sort of weed cutter near the prop. Hate to tempt fate here (touches wood of desk) but personally never had anything worse than reeds and a plastic bag wrapped round, but it's surely only a matter of time.

you'd need some sort of repeater, aerials are usually to get commercial 4G signal to your own router/dongle and not marina WiFi inside the boat. is scuttling your neighbours an option?

will it take your finger to the bone if you're wrestling with something it didn't cut and accidentally brush against it?

there were plans to have him overdubbed using the vocal talents of Sean Bean, but it was felt that having Giles randomly say "B*stard!" and die at the end of each episode would become confusing for the general public

i have a similar problem with those Dawncraft Highbridge's, i doubt i could bring myself to own one but there's just something appealing about their little faces

in the pic you can see our house shaver socket, an adaptor for 3-pin, and an OralB charge cable. Toothbrush will charge in all of them. i should imagine if you look at the "travel" section of a large supermarket they'll have one with the other adapters

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B003A28C3W/ one of those? other tax-avoiding retailers are available

it's likely his ownership of the domain "jim-shead.com" has expired and that's just a holding page

If you have access to YouTube, then give Willow Wren Training a look. it may not all be relevant to river boating but it has some useful pointers here and there

i can see the plus side of a nice dry well deck, but they must surely hamper mooring when you can't just nip onto the front without a huge stretch, mind you i also don't get how folk want gas in the bow locker either which again must be even harder when trying to do that with a cratch in the way as well.

our 1999 Reeves shell was setup that way, but has been modified so rather than pass through the boat it collects at the front and is removed by a bilge pump. it would benefit from a cratch, but the beauty of shareboats meaning we cant decide on one
