Damn damn cat

Was supposed to get back to the boat on Saturday afternoon leaving home at 12.30pm, with all shopping etc ready for the big push to the aquaduct.  Bloody cat ran away before I could get her into the box and hid in someone elses garden until 7.30pm missing her lunch.

So we then kept her in over night, trapped her under the bed in the morning after breakfast and she scratched me, bit and scratched Rob before she calmed down and in the box she went.

She then crapped in the box halfway to the boat so I had to stop and dispose of the offending items (keeping her in the box by the scruff of the neck) all in all I was not best pleased with the little darling.  However we appear to be friends again.  Although I am still cross about the delay.

I now have a new gas bottle, some diesel in the c/h tank and a fully serviced engine.  In the end I did empty all the oil out before Rob got to me so all he had to do was change the oil filter with his special tool and refill the engine.  I had to sacrifice my water jug as extra storage.  Next time I will be able to do the whole service myself.

We got back to his house around 10pm stopping for fish and chips on the way home.  Probably the best chips we have ever had so he is making a note for revisiting when out and about on his bike.  Unfortunately nowhere near us normally which is a shame.

I am not that pleased with where I am moored at the moment as it is a tad busy which means I am banging about on the shelf.  I am hoping that it will all calm down soon.
