nb Poppy: November 2011
http://nbpoppy.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
An everyday tale of our life as liveaboards on our narrowboat with our cats Soona and Sid. Sunday, 13 November 2011. Yesterday we wanted to check out the mooring situation north of Chirk so we walked over the aqueduct, through the tunnel and through the cutting as far as the marina. View from the aqueduct across the valley under the railway viaduct,. The mist is just rising off the trees. The Chirk Aqueduct is the 'other' aqueduct's poor relation but we like it. The imposing Chirk Tunnel entrance. A frea...

An everyday tale of our life as liveaboards on our narrowboat with our cats Soona and Sid. Saturday, 31 March 2012. Last Thursday we left the countryside behind and cruised into Greater Manchester, we had booked into Stretford Marina for a long weekend and it was just as well we'd booked as being a small marina it was just about full, it's handy to visit Bek and family who live just round the corner and extremely reasonable at £5 a night inc electric. On Thursday night. Or The Tank as the locals call it).

An everyday tale of our life as liveaboards on our narrowboat with our cats Soona and Sid. Thursday, 30 June 2011. Just one of those weeks. After a 7.30am start we got to Reading Tesco moorings for 9am and by 10am I was collecting my repeat prescription from the Post Office, so far so good but when I got to Boots I found a problem with the script as one of my regular meds wasn't on the list and I had taken my last tablet in the morning ( cutting it fine, I know! I went to the NHS walk in centre as. I thi...

nb Poppy: July 2011
http://nbpoppy.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
An everyday tale of our life as liveaboards on our narrowboat with our cats Soona and Sid. Sunday, 31 July 2011. Though I have since read somewhere that it has been practice for years as due to leaking lock walls the lock cottages basements would flood if locks left full. Again we had the train noise but it does seem to ease off during the night or else I was so whacked I'd have slept through anything. So Friday we got cracking at 8am determined to find a spot for the weekend, after a couple of locks we ...

http://nbpoppy.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
An everyday tale of our life as liveaboards on our narrowboat with our cats Soona and Sid. Friday, 23 September 2011. Time to move on, the cupboards need restocking so we were Tamworth bound,. Leaving our mooring on a glorious morning. The 1st day of Autumn and the leaves are definitely on the turn. Looking back at the M42, we have driven over it many times,. It's nice to be cruising under it this time. The Glascote locks were busy, no water wasted as it was one up one down. Friday, September 23, 2011.

Captain Ahab's Watery Tales: March 2015
http://captainahabswaterytales.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Captain Ahab's Watery Tales. An on line logbook of watery wanderings. The Other 60 Miles of the BCN. Saturday, 28 March 2015. Going, Going, Gone. Historic Boat Club auction. Going, Going, Gone pretty much sums up our lives at the moment. I took pity on them and suggested that they may like to suss out the local pub and see if there was any chance of seeing the end of the Six Nations Rugby Tournament. Fortunately, I was sat next to the table set aside for payment so I settled within 10 mins and was in the...

Captain Ahab's Watery Tales: February 2015
http://captainahabswaterytales.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Captain Ahab's Watery Tales. An on line logbook of watery wanderings. The Other 60 Miles of the BCN. Friday, 27 February 2015. With a good weather forecast and a Friday to ourselves we decided to pay Birmingham a visit. Of course, I work in Birmingham most days but I rarely have the time to stop and look at the cityscape which surrounds me. Main alter window - Birmingham Cathedral. Windows to the left and right at Birmingham Cathedral. Western window - Birmingham Cathedral. So what you get is a baroque c...

Mark's World: Enough Of This Nonsense!
http://salisburymark.blogspot.com/2008/06/enough-of-this-nonsense.html
Be reasonable; demand the impossible NOW! Friday, June 27, 2008. Enough Of This Nonsense! It has been some time since I last visited my blog, and what a sorry state the subject of that last post was - not that it wasn't true, but I have moved on a bit since then. What I'm looking forward to is less self-examination and more of the old fire that allowed me to have a go at anyone who gets my goat. The problem has been that no-one - not even Bush or Brown, - has managed to do this for me - and I need to...

Mark's World: Administration
http://salisburymark.blogspot.com/2007/11/administration.html
Be reasonable; demand the impossible NOW! Tuesday, November 06, 2007. Came back from holiday last week to be informed that the company I work for had gone into Voluntary Administration. This means that the day to day activity of the company is in the hands of administrators, and that the company is being prepared for sale. Not much to cheer about, however, I should know more about where the company stands by Friday. Wow what a time of year for that announcement! Best to you and the family.

http://salisburymark.blogspot.com/2007/10/game-too-far-england-lose.html
Be reasonable; demand the impossible NOW! Sunday, October 21, 2007. A Game Too Far - England Lose. After yet another bruising encounter, England's men of Oak just couldn't do it one more time and beat South Africa to retain the Webb Ellis Trophy - the World Cup. Never pretty, it was so ugly it was beautiful! Well done South Africa, you played well and deserved to win. England, I am proud of you. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
