Turning the boat round
I know this sounds like a euphomism for "paying a visit" but in this instance I was actually turning the boat round when I lost it, the boat that is. I was parking when the stream got me and took me sideways downstream at some considerable pace towards a gap less than 60ft, the length of Weyward Lady. I had visions of being the new milleneum bridge for the Thames at Abingdon while I waited a few days for the current to subside. As it happens the gap was 60 and a half feet and I went through as if it was quite deliberate and I did it everyday. I don't mind telling you that I was very very lucky and whatever it was I shouldn't have done I won't do it again. Somebody was smiling on me. Waitrose in the morning before we make our way to Oxford. I have promised POS afternoon tea in Oxford on Saturday our 39th wedding anniversary (Happy Anniversary Niick & Linda as well) but we may be there a day early

Afternoon tea in Oxford sounds lovely. What time were you thinking!
ReplyDeleteOoooh errr. That sounds very scary indeed. You were incredibly lucky by the sounds of it. Any new scrapes?? Was POS on board at the time? Is she speaking to you again yet?! A close encounter, me thinks!! As you say, whatever you did .. you won't do it again in a hurry hopefully!!
ReplyDeleteIt is gorgeous again here and we took 'Miss B' out on Thursday for a jolly. All the gongoozlers out at Pyrford Lock. Ice cream man is back! He's about 50 years younger that last year so think it's his grandson!
Have a great time in Oxford, and NO MORE STUNTS please.

Sue was cowering in the bow well on the pretence so she says, of not wanting to fall in. I think she was embarrassed by my appauling helsmanship
ReplyDeleteGood heavens you're still afloat.
