... there you go a bit of a Clash earworm for you.
We will have been married 41 years tomorrow Valentines day. Last year we booked into a very nice hotel in Bosham for a long weekend, Rachel got White gold diamonds and rubies - I got another motorbike! This year like so many we planned for an escape to the boat. You'd have had to be living underground to not be aware of the horrible weather we've been having recently. We have been monitoring the forecasts of more snow more rain and ice.... and dithering as to whether we should brave the boat.
Up until lunchtime we were unsure, we have a lovely cottage all warm and cosy and those of you who've had boat will attest to just how cold they get when left to their own devices. By 12.30 we took the decision to go and the van was loaded and we were off. It was of course sleeting at this point and 4c... I have made a personal decision to not allow external factors to influence me any more and the weather is one of them along with antisocial media that I have pretty much withdrawn from - so if you do not see me on Facebook or Instagram that's the reason.
We arrived about 2.30pm and in a well practiced set of actions we were sitting with a tea reading books while the boat slowly warmed up from its 6c arrival temp - last checked it was 23c. I use logs now to get fast heat but its still quite stratified with the floor area still quite cold.... this will soon be address as the long fat hot copper pipes radiate the heat up and round on its circular heating and cooling journey.
We have a rare cold but sunny day tomorrow to make the most of... not sure of it'll be jobs or a trip out somewhere ....
