Hello! Happy end of June! Few things irritate me more than sanding upside down. Holding a sander above your head is one thing, and then applying extra force to actually SAND is just taking the piss. All while it's vibrating and you're being covered in dust
Hello! Happy Sunday :) It's been a GORGEOUS weekend and buoy have I done a little bit of boat work (it had to fit around the ringing, and hot air ballooning). It was the Midlands Air Festival, and on Friday I was fortunate to have one of my favourite
Hello! And happy April :) This was meant to be on Sunday, and then I forgot. So I'm switching to the last day of the month instead... currently writing from a Thames Clipper. We've reached that part of the year where my reliance on the grid disappears,
Hello! And happy March :) It's been 3 weeks since I last boated, and through every fault of my own there was meant to be a couple of days last week as well, but instead I'm heading back for a long Easter weekend. Since then I'
Hello! Happy Sunday, happy February :) On Thursday the 29th January, dismantling my piano and packing for London, I felt excited about the boat for the first time in months. Excited to work on it again!! To build a wardrobe, finish the bathroom & re-sand those shelves, finish the kitchen (my

Hello! Happy Sunday :) So I ordered a bunch of gas fittings, and one of them the bulkhead fitting... I deliberated awhile on how best to pass a gas line through a bulkhead, as I found various opinions — join the pipe on either side with a compression fitting, run the pipe
Hello! And happy 2026 :D Last month I hinted that I'd move down to monthly updates, which I'll do at the end of this month instead. Until then, there's plumbing to do. I finally got my shit together and ordered copper pipe, as trying
Hello! Happy Sunday, and end of 2025. So I'm not getting a wind turbine, it wouldn't do shit; wind speeds around here are consistently meh. I'd need a mahoosive one, far bigger than I could put up — power scales with the area it sweeps
Hello, and happy shortest day of the year! The switch towards longer, warmer, lighter days is so very welcome. While away last week I ignored the "low balance" emails for marina shore power, and on Tuesday it eventually hit £0.00, but I didn't find out
Hello! Happy Sunday :) I'm writing this from a cosy sofa in a centrally-heated home, and I was in Denmark for most of the week, so I hope the boat's afloat but on Monday I did re-seal the chimney for the 3rd time. This time I did
