Freedom

Well it's here, the big U! Yes, I'm officially unemployed.

Still not too sure how I feel about it, but I was so close to going postal I guess it's the best thing all-round.

Anyway, back to business...

Doing my trans-London trip today, and it's not really gone according to plan.

First, whilst speaking to a another boater in Camden, by Hampstead Road Lock, I hear that there is a big party tonight at Kensal Green, I left Kensal Green this morning. DOH!

And secondly, Actons Lock, the last lock I had planned to do today was fucked!

So basically after about 20 mins, I realised that I could never fill the lock due to a broken bottom paddle (which I didn't spot due to it being dark).

So after turning round and travelling about 2 miles back to Islington, here I am, just upstream of Sturts Lock.

Well that was interesting, just let another boat moor alongside me (yes, right now I stopped typing to help tie them up), I guess that's my good boaty deed for the day.

Peace.
