    No I don't care what the weather does, but cruising and boozing in sunshine can't be beaten.

    Speaking of which :default_beerchug:

    Not jealous in the slightest but a nice crisp pint of Aspal would go down a treat at lunch time yum yum :default_drink_2:

    Good stuff, that's the equivalent to me always standing up with my head out of the helm roof window, despite other people's complaints about letting the cold in :default_rolleyes:

    Omg that reminds me of a time we hired a Barnes Breakaway boat just for the weekend and because of the rain and lack of windscreen wipers we had to cruise along with Mark's head up out of the canopy, next thing I know, whoosh, gust of wind and off went his first mates cap into the water, luckily friends we're following behind us and scooped it up :default_biggrin:

    Enjoy work, you'd love this beer I'm supping :default_wink:

    Thank you ever so much but I'm a cider lover rather than larger, beer or ale. I am at work however looking forward to no boss from Friday till the 2nd of Jan :default_eusa_dance:

    Enjoy your break away guys and if you can't be good be careful.

    What a wonderful change from the earlier in the week rain and wind.

    Now it's just windy :default_biggrin:. It's warmed from the frosty 3° this morning to a lovely warm 6° in the sunshine

    What lovely weather for you today, far nicer than grim grey gloomy Manchester where it is raining currently, funny how nobody minds it raining afloat, we sure don't anyway.

    I remember on our Honeymoon we had the then Swan Ranger and even when it rained we still sat upstairs and cruised along with a brolly up :default_norty:

    I have made all sorts on board before now from full roast dinners to pies, from home made lasagna to just a tin of stewed steak with mash and mushy peas.

    Most hire boats (including the old ones) have excellent galley facilities so when you are used to camping and cooking a full steak dinner on a 2 burner gas stove, anything is achievable on a boat :99_muscle:

    Yesterday evenng I made Chicken, Leek and Cider Pie served with boiled potatoes.
    It was a LOT of work, the wife loved it & daughter ate hers so that means something.

    If anyone tries to make it do not underestimate the amount of work until the pie goes into the oven!
    I did use ready-made puff pastry from local supermarket.

    That looks like heaven on a plate :default_wub: well done you :default_icon_clap:

    It, like any other cola, is the ruination of a great spirit. Straight or, if you must, on the rocks is the only way for JD or JB. :)

    Wow, your job certainly takes you to some fabulous places, I may have to admit to being a tiny bit jealous.

    I am back in my little office, sat 20 foot from my delightful boss but hey, it's Friday, I finish at 1pm, downside is it's like Typhoon Terry outside, lots of roads are flooded so my 3 mile commute to work was interesting lol :99_muscle::default_norty:
