Mechanically eventful and huge respect for the amount of onboard cooking! Where is grief's corner?

A shame to have to prepare and travel all over again. But I detect you see the humourous side of the mix up... hope all goes smoothly tomorrow.

I thoroughly enjoyed that and definitely hadn't seen it before 👍

Good to hear you are recovering well 👍 Once you've stern moored tying up shouldn't be too much of a problem. There may be some bending to be done but generally you are in a secure position and won't feel you have to rush. If you run your stern ropes ashore and then back to the boat's cleats to tie off then you should be able to cast off without leaving the boat at all... being careful against ropes falling in near your prop of course!

Poor thing, most of our rescue dogs have been the same. It's great that you found each other 👍

Sorry to hear your sad news, it's the worst of days. They really are family in every way.

It's a shame that Bill didn't have time to pass, I think many of the ugly scenes following a bump could be avoided if normal politeness and civility could be employed.

Surely that's against the law! 😁

I had a similar problem with my Nanni engine. In the end I checked along all hoses using a laser point thermometer and found a cool spot at the highest point in the system where there was a join. I replaced the joint with a connector that had a bleed screw. (If I remember correctly it was Smoggy that suggested the thermometer 👍)

That eel sauce Ian, is that what they call liquor? (Not sure how it's spelt) For me pie and mash has to come with peas and gravy 👍

Every family has that one "2nd cousin twice removed" 😂

Yes! We have a meeting of minds and world peace may break out if only everyone had the common decency to keep gravy away from chips 🍺

You're not the first to make this observation and custard isn't the only reason 😂 I have to agree, in the far distant past I worked at HJ Heinz and as a school leaver who didn't really look old enough to be out of school the canteen ladies "adopted" me 😁

I'm certain it's just a typo and you meant cold and runny Gracie 😂😁😂

It's true that it's unlikely to modify behaviour as you say but there are other benefits such as protection against some conditions/illnesses and although not relevent in this case, it can save unwanted litters. All in all I think I'd discuss it with the vet before deciding.

Well, I'm shocked! 😂

Nothing beats an apple crumble.. the big point of debate of course is the custard. Hot crumble must be accompanied by cold custard! Yes? 😁

Me too, they weren't strapped on my last BSS and this had to be rectified.

Yes, we can all make mistakes but it costs nothing to apologise and to check all is OK.

Slow but sure, you're doing great with him. The wee in the kitchen could just be stress, he's been through a lot and he's still learning that he has a lovely new safe home with you 👍 Also it's possible he doesn't know yet how to ask you to let him out, bless him 🙂

And long white scarves I trust 😁

Woof box? 😁

He's a handsome chap and very alert, I wouldn't be surprised if was younger than 4 too!

Well done, Pozzick has fallen on his paws after a scary experience. Now he has a lovely new family and a sister to play with.. the best breed of all is Rescue 👍🙂

There is also one visitor mooring at Sutton Staithe Boatyard. It is not in the main private marina which should not be entered. Calling ahead I believe is essential.
