  1. I made about 100 masks for friends and family, and I find the research evidence convincing. A useful summary is Dr John Campbell on YouTube May 21st. ‘Reliable evidence for mask wearing’. This retired NHS Doctor and Nurse Educator has a series of videos summarising all the reliable evidence to date on Coronavirus. If you have worn a face shield you have done the best possible.
  2. Working where you do, I think word of a puppy might come, and the vets will know the good breeders?
  3. It’s his Butch Cassidy and the Sundown Grandad look. 🤪 Above the eyes... never thought of that. What a missed opportunity!
  4. You lot have got no poetry in your souls!😋
  5. My inspiration! 😂 We will be fitting several oil drums, available at all good boatyards and our outboard motor. Should be fine. As sailies there will be minimal steering required, we will just rely on the windage to navigate.
  6. Not yet but it will be! 🍷
  7. We bought a touring caravan. It is operation beat lockdown as much as possible, also get a base so as to be able to work on Brilliant ( which has just gone into Whelpton’s workshed for some surgery...hooray) I can now announce that the caravan, or ‘Norma’ in honour of the ‘new normal’, should pass her boat safety test. Gas fine, extinguishers fine, CO monitor even fitted. Electrics also fine and nice new leisure battery. She would probably sink of course, but that isn’t on the test. 😋
  8. I enjoy watching these two also.Sad about the dog.

    I met a live aboard who made a distinction between live-aboards and sinister live-aboards. Sounded fair to me.

    What side of the dyke are they?
  11. Have you identified the mobile ‘poo’ you found? 👍Possibly a ground beetle larva?
  12. Is the solar panel actually practical or is it decorative?
  13. This is a welcome advance notice of our Spring event. All members are welcome. We usually start with a Cruise In Company from Ranworth, to Salhouse Broad, with the main event activity then at Salhouse. There will be sign-up opportunity nearer the time, this ‘heads up’ is so that hirers can book their boats. 🥂🍷🍹🍰🍺🍔
  14. Peter, I thought I was looking at the real lettering! Awesome!
  15. We are planning a flying visit to Whelptons this week, but with Phill shielding it is a logistical nightmare.
  16. Nobody remember the Mods and Rockers fighting at Hastings then?
  17. The outer broad at South Walsham is a lovey spot.
  18. If you want a balanced and carefully researched view on Coronavirus stuff, check out Dr John Campbell’s daily YouTube offering.

    My Day

    We drove round Rushden Lakes on our way back from Waitrose. The queue for Primark was about 150 people. M&S nil, Boots 2, Clark’s Shoes 3. I am sure a lot of them were getting kids clothing as three months is a lot of growing time.
