Fear not boat all re polished and I use the Kartcher round patio cleaner attachment that came with the washer on the Indian stone slabs. John

I have a Kartcher K4 and it gets used a lot, the last 2 weeks it has done the boat, rear slabs and the cars. I had the last one 8 years then give it to my boy who still uses it. Can recommend 100% i can see the £80 one very tempting though knowing the Yorkie blood😂 John

I see you are struggling to find a mooring again Jean this morning Big brother is watching ! John

We also had the wet system on a narrowboat last September on the Llangollen canal which I was very impressed with, pitty the rest of the boat wasn’t up to a good build standard. If I was to have a boat built and specified I would go this way. John

This came in the opposite direction to me yesterday around Beccles. I thought at the time it was a bit wide for these roads, only for it t be confirmed as it had been pulled over into a lay-by near Loddon.

Yes Chris that’s the best way to join the A1 north, the junction there with the 2 islands just before do get extremely busy at peak times. John

Just topped up with fuel and as advised by the garage who I called at this morning put in some Forte adatives as in their words supermarket fuel isn’t great. John

Hi Robin if your going to Cooper bmw Norwich they are well over the top price wise. I had a service done last week (oil and filters) which I booked on the bmw website and said it would be £250. When I got there they said it was classed as a major service! and would be £550 so a bit of hagling brought it down to £400 which I thought was ok. My car has done 35k miles although it’s a 330d 3 series says the front brakes are ok for 8k and the rear ok for 35kmiles so it seems a bit early for yours ? Is it showing up on the veichle status that they need doing. Just going for 2 new tyres this morning another £450😫 John

A late start to work today so had the girls out for a walk around Salhouse broad. I thought it would be fairly busy as it’s half term but lovely and peaceful. The calm before the storm in a few weeks. John

Should have read Alpha crafts old boats as they had been left in a terrible state for a few years before the yard got sold off. Alphas, Aquafibres in general are great boats so long as they have been well maintained. John

With all the chrome bits and jazzy new radio is BA short for Bling Afloat now Charlie😂 John

At Swancraft It was £1.20 per lt a couple of weeks ago 60/40 spilt £16 pump out. John

Aparantly the purple object lights up which would be great on top of BA for night navs it would also blend in with the other nobs on the boat 😂 John

I have a dehumidifier that drains into the sink, it’s on a timer for 1 hour 4 times in 24 hrs. Never a problem with damp through the boat. John

Not guilty your honour😂 screw loose springs to mind though. John

We had a new Status VIsion Plus omni direction aerial fitted 3 years ago with a signal booster, always had a good picture without fail John

Always used Tony Irwin from Banks boats at Wayford really good guy to deal with John

Hi Robin the cars are designed, built and tested on run flats, admitadly the first run flats a few years ago weren’t brilliant but these days there’s hardly any difference in them to standard tyres. I drive 25k a year on them and have done for the last 15 years. Too many myths on the internet putting people’s lives in danger. John

We also went to Cromer for the fireworks, it was cold after a quite mild week. The sea was quite rough with the wind. The Marshall’s were in force to take the £5 parking fee on the green but never saw any when we tried to get off and out of town, it was a bit busy ! John

Yes saw the signs last week go up , we don’t live too far away from here but not sure about another carvery. John

Hi Mark I think there great apart from the price ! They have got me out a pickle twice at night and got sorted the day after when the tyre shops are open. John

All BMW’s should have run flat tyres fitted which allows you to still drive up to 50mph if you have a puncture so no need for a spare. John

Good choice of car Robin I’ve had 2 X5s A bit big again though for parking up especially in the multi story car parks.! Hope you’ve gone for run flats Robin as these now (they were very noisy when they first came out) are great if not bloody expensive now. BMW usually change the tyres on used cars if the trend is below 5mm as standard when buying from them. I have had a puncture a few times on these and been able to carry on my journey around Norfolk all be it at a recommended 50mph. I definatly wouldn’t put standard tyres on if you are driving around on dark nights even with a full size spare you wouldnt want to be changing them on our pitch black roads at night. whats with the ad blue I have the same 3lt engine in a 3 series bmw touring but don’t need to use it. I thought bmw had an extra bit in the exhaust so you didn’t need it (unless that’s later models?) John

No going out today all the boats on the mud John

That’s me not going out them as will be stuck on mud at Brundall looking at low water times John
