Sunny Saturday

Saturday, 20 April 2013

This must be the sunniest Saturday since this time last year. Do you remember last April when Anglian Water announced a hosepipe ban in the Eastern Region? It then didn’t stop raining until they decided to lift the drought warning at the end of the summer. Anyway, if we have another day like today, they may think about doing it again.

 

Ely looked a picture in the sun, lots of people and even quite a few white cruisers were on the river braving the unusual elements. I had the pleasure of watching big white boats with names like ‘Atlantis’, ‘Olli-an-Anna’ and ‘Dad’s Dreamboat’ jostling for prime position on the riverside.

I then spent a leisurely day in the town and on the boat. In the afternoon, I even took the top of a paint pot and started touching up the skirting board. Now the skirting looks fab and the rest looks drab. Might have to paint it all to match. Such fun!

It’s now 7 o’clock and all the cruisers have buzzedoff home to watch East Enders or Britain Needs Talent so things are peaceful again on the river. Stunning!

I plan to go home tomorrow.
