I have a number of wishes but they are all minor compared to a wish for Jenny's migraines to go away. Mind you, we are so used to her bouts of migraine it would take a while to become accustomed to her not having her 'headaches' .... as my ex would say, "Sex? Nah, let's not ruin a perfect day" but I digress ... The high winds we encountered on our journey to Banbury, gave Jenny her migraine. We managed to get a beautiful 48hour mooring right opposite BHS and we should have departed this morning but though I feel ok about going through the locks single handed, I know she will fret. So .... I think we will be staying till tomorrow. Should I phone up CaRT and explain, or wait till someone turns up? I will of course not stay on board. I shall go and have a haircut and buy some nice bread etc.... Meanwhile, don't know if anyone else encountered problems with the wind but we had a couple of hairy moments when the gusts of wind were blowing the swing bridges semi horizontal as we came along the canal, and I was having to judge my arrival with a slackening of gusty wind and hoping the gust wouldn't repeat while we going through .... actually, I quite enjoyed the thought that we might be in the news for knocking a swing bridge off its perch! And yes, I did think about letting one of us off to hold onto bridge but discounted the thought as I reckon neither of us weighed enough to make much difference to holding the balance beams horizontal ... And lastly, I have been trying to use Imgur to send in some photos (with my new second hand 'coolpix' camera) but the sight seems to be down. Anyone else experienced problems? Suggestions for different site to use would be helpful?? Ok, am off to go look and see if any longer term moorings are available round corner, Then time for haircut, food shopping, booze shopping, and back in time to watch pointless. It'sa hard life
