Seriously Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 it's a me thing . Friday afternoon and I decided to mess with my cruise control switch on my car which I did not fix as they sent wrong replacment . But In doing so broke my brake light switch grrrrrrr. Only realised at 8:00 fri night , when I noticed brake lights were permently on . I have 130 mile trip to norfolk tomorrow morning . So at 11.30 pm final fix it . By putting a wall plug on the end of the switch ,to extend it . Bed me thinks . Up at six the drive went well . kids fell asleep for an hour so a result no mardy kids in the car. We got to the boat yard a bit early . So went for a coffee . At lathams . So if any body so a family sat in rain drinking coffee and eating scones that was us . Can't leave the dog in car so one out all out. But who cares we are on holiday. So know way I can get the boat out off the yard so admit defeat and ask for help. Which we got from a very nice man who loved his job . How easy do they make it look.nothing real sticks out just a good relaxing afternoon and night moored at Salhouse ,party on the next boat . But we were cream cracked so did not keep us a wake. They looked like they were having fun . I can remember the party life style before the kids. I don't miss it much lol.kids decided they did not need a layin so up at 7:15 breakfast and slow trip to the island at ran worth . Stern mooring with out bow thrusters it's been a while . All good and did a good job . The wife heard the fella at the side off us say " makes all the difrence when you have bow thrusters " she said she did not have the heart to tell him. . Well time to head back to the boat yard . On way it started to rain I can't drive inside the boat just does not feel right so put my anorak on and enjoyed the rain .home now and exhausted but well worth it . 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayandCarole Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Ah the A47 fortunately we only have to suffer from Postwick to the Brundall roundabout.However Postwick junction is a new challenge every time at the moment as it seems to change day by dayRay & Carole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadScot Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Hi Ray,Are those roadworks still ongoing there? If so I shall go the cross country back roads to Acle next month from Kings Lynn. Did that in May, it was a lovely morning drive. Iain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayandCarole Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Hi Iainyes the roadworks are still ongoing but depending on time of day the run through on the A47 is usually OK we go through Norwich and join A47 at Postwick hence the battle with the road worksRay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranworthbreeze Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Last season I needed to give initiation training. I left Sheffield early on Tuesday morning to arrive at Brundall by 9.30 am, it rained all the way there, all of the 5 hours of training and all the way back to Sheffield. I arrived home about 9.30 pm somewhat fed up with the A47 & the A17 and the foul weather.RegardsAlan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hylander Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Now I know. I have often wondered. So it is the kitchen. Well well. So you can sit up top and yell your orders to the kitchen staff (only joking). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitchen duties and ah hem that also, hmmm, I'd like to be a fly on the wall when Inge reads that, Charlie and as for girls having small feet to get to the kitchen sink or whatever, just a myth, what is it they say about men and big feet......oh yeah, just a myth Grace p.s I have probably said this before....
