Diver

Haven't moved more than two feet away from the boat today. Was up earlyish and sat out on the bank and read for most of the morning, I'm reading  Diver by Tony Groom  and it charts the career of the author as a clearance diver for the Royal Navy, all the more interesting as our friends son Matthew was a clearance diver and the training these guys went through is not for the faint-hearted.

The afternoon I spent with a rag and a bottle of Brasso and gave the curtain rails and inside vent trims a good shine.

Before and after.

Just as I had started to get ready for a cycle into Braunston to wiz of a postcard to a friend back home the rain started, so that will have to wait until tomorrow.

Got this text from a friend the other day:

To the person who nicked my trainers while I was on the bouncy castle today. ,,,,,,,..GROW UP.
