Fire & Ice

It's bloody brass monkeys out there!

Thankfully I have my crap stove to keep me warm.

It's a pretty rubbish stove, but better than nothing!

Stoppage on the Lee navigation

Here's a few pics of a lock that being refurbished.

Very geeky in a Fred Dibnah kind of way, but hey...

I got my (M)TV

I now have a TV again! After just finishing a 12 year stint of working 'in tv' the last thing I should want to do is watch the damn thing, but after spending the last month living in a stripped out steel tube, in a ditch, getting my TV back is the light at the end of the tunnel (or steel tube).

I've also made my desk, a rather nifty fold up one that virtually disappears when folded, which is pretty handy on a narrowboat.

Galley, highwire and haggis

The galley is nearly finished! All of the woodwork has been done (except the floor) and i've just got the cooker to connect and some (more) painting to do.

Saw some engineers working from a cradle attached to electricity lines, these things were really high! Rather them than me...

And onto the haggis!

Marc, the man with the knife, is Scottish and invited me round for a St Andrews Day meal, which was rather nice!

I think it was just a meal to him though, I'm sure it's haggis at every meal, washed down with buckfast.
