nicknorman Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Just to wind up those at work, it's a beautiful day, sunny and 18 degrees here in Tamworth. For once I chose the right time to have some days off so out for a chug-about. Not surprisingly seen 4 other boats on the move already. Now where did I put that sun cream...

matty40s Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 (edited) Just to wind up those at work, it's a beautiful day, sunny and 18 degrees here in Tamworth. For once I chose the right time to have some days off so out for a chug-about. Not surprisingly seen 4 other boats on the move already. Now where did I put that sun cream... Got all , yes ALL me hatches and windows open, letting the breeze in and get to any of those spots that normally don't get aired much in winter. Whilst obviously noting that no-one at work would be on CWDF in company time mind........ Edited February 23, 2012 by matty40s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sitting in shirtsleeves outside on the patio with a coffee, listening to the birds chattering and a bee buzzing. And I'm thinking Why am I not on my boat now? Wish my boat was nearer!

Rod a mod from Tod Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Been working on a mill roof most of the day just up from Portland Basin on the Ashton. Lovely and warm with a bit of a breeze. Bit of colour back on my bald napper. Not seen a boat move on the canal for months though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nicknorman Posted February 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 BBC just said hottest place today was Coleshill at 19 deg, about 7 miles from here. So right day off, boat in right location... Must buy a lottery ticket since this is obviously my lucky day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duztee Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Must be warming up! already had 3 large wasps flying around inside, don't know if they came in from outside or if they have been squatting rent free for the winter and decided it was warm enough to wake up and move on.
