IS MY LIFE RESTARTING

The past year has been a nightmare:  twelve months of unrelenting stress when just about everything that might have gone right with the transfer of the flat went wrong, its commissioning was disasterous and my life is currently about fourteen months behind schedule.

Transfer of boat by road to the Midlands which should have happened in March'23 occurred in mid May last year and the basta*ds dipped it in the river on arrival at Calcutt.  I had 200litres of water to pump out before I could leave the jetty and the cabin was a shambles because they tipped the boat at a high angle when refloating it which took a week to clear up. 

However boating has been going swimmingly ever since.  I acquired a butty called Wavy Rider and transferred nearly 200 kilos of stuff I do not yet want to throw away from the boat to Wavy which now acts as a garden shed to my floating mancave.  It came with solar panels which are now pluggable into the mancave to boost available electricity ...

Meanwhile at the flat I spent six months unbundling personal effects and books and clothes before I was in a position to get a bookcase and desk in.  I am now unpacking some 700 volumes and masses of filing.  Going back and forth to the boat to pump out bilges mop out the butty and continue developing my canal life reduces the stress level raised while at the flat.  Read about flatlife at   Homenene
