36 Hours and Counting

Lists, list, and more lists. Things we have to remember. We have so many lists that I am now creating lists for the lists. Quite honestly the sooner we set sail the better. If we forget the teabags I am sure we will find somewhere where we can buy some more. Waitrose isn't the sole agent for groceries as far as I am aware! The whole thing feels more like an expedition to the darkest and uncharted waters of the Amazon than a wander round the drifting spires of Oxford and on. Let's just hope there is no similarity especially the weather.
Talking of Amazon and  the weather I bought myself off the tinternet, a little gizmo into which I can clip an umbrella. It fits on the tiller and cost £4.50 inc postage. I cannot believe it will work for one moment and even if it does, at that price it will break in two moments. Still it's only going to rain at night for the next 12 weeks isn't it!!
Just to throw a bit of interest into the agenda there are flood warnings for the Lower Thames. I would be really fed up (and that is an understatement and censored) if we can't get out of the marina on Saturday. I guess we'll be alright though,

  2. have you considered last minute.com? a nice sunny week in Greece then start the trip with a nice suntan. Sue would of course need new clothes. Seriously though, we hope the voyage gets off to a good start as we're looking forward to reading more.....
