Caldon canal rewind. We find ourselves at the Hollybush Inn. And the Pedigree is jolly good. Usually Pedigree is crap, but not here. Hic!

Blue sky and sunshine ... glorious βοΈ
We're going to pop back in to Leighton Buzzard where Linslade Canal Festival is going off today.
Seems a nice day for it ππ»

Enjoyed our visit.
The festival site was based in Tiddenfoot Country Park, with about a dozen traders on the canal too.
Loads of food and drink stalls and very gentle live music.
Well worth a short bus ride.

Early start today, was emptying the toilet cassette at Sutton Stop at 06:15. Then back for the mind-numbing torture of the DCPC Zoom meeting. But my 35 hours is done now and it lasts five years so I'll never have to do it again. Found time before it and in the breaks to stickerbomb the Scopy legshield. I still have to repair it but I also prepared the plastic repair panels (from an empty anti-freeze container). I'll do the repair when the boys are here in early August.

Took Jeffβs parents to Consall Forge / Black Lion. Got moored by the bridge, had a pint, steam train came past. The βrents were well impressed. Water point was amazing, 1/2 tank to full in what seemed like 5 minutes.

I spent 8 hours on the Podium yesterday and 7 hours on the Podium today. Not moaning but I think somewhere along the line there is a message of some sort.
Its lovely on the River but I'm sure that sailing around the world in a Sloop would be even more terrifically boring.
Or getting a job!
Or getting a Β£359k cash legacy!
Or getting a life !

It could be worse. You could have a job, one you hate. You could have built up debts somewhere along the line. All your toil in a job you hate, merely to service your debts. Many people have this situation. Not pleasant at all.

In other news I have an obviously rather Russian looking and sounding woman in the Asda petrol station giving me special beer deals which are not advertised. I don't go there often but she knows me. I would not look at giving her a dollop of the baby but it is still interesting.
The first encounter was some months ago where she accused me of not putting the fuel delivery nozzle back in its holder after I filled a can of petrol for the launch.
I think she might have spotted my MI6 Situation.
I should probably careful here. The free beer she invited me to take from the shop probably has a tracker.
I'm terrible like that !

I try not to interact with too many other people but when I do I tend to wonder why I have had such a beautiful life. I bet those people with much shitter lives don't seriously consider sitting a small enclosed non ventilated space with a big pile of burning charcoal though. To be fair.

Back to work tomorrow, shorter weekend than I like what with this DCPC course taking up all day Saturday. Have Wednesday off though so that will break up the week a bit.
Then both boys are coming up next Sunday and staying until Wednesday, we have loads to do to Charlie's new van and also the Scopy which I'm hoping to take for MOT on Wednesday morning. Assuming it passes, then as soon as the DVLA sort out a V5C then I'll insure and tax it.

Why do all your vehicle Logbooks [V5C] carry a false address in Kent for the registered keeper ? www.gov.uk/change-address-v5c/change-name-address-v5c

Nice enough day on the River. Obviously with the relatively good weather the idiots turn up but that is simply a societal byproduct and not something to be overly concerned about.
We'll get there one day.
