Fine sunset this evening but only 8.30pm ... the year is racing by. Rog Very noticeable how much earlier sunset comes now, and also how much later sunrise comes for those of us who have to get out of bed early to go to work at Slam Transport.

Yes we'll no doubt be learning if our services are required this winter by the end of the month.

Can I ask you to stop calling Tony Dunkley a child sex offender. Thank you. You seem to be missing the point. I wouldn't have to had Jim not quoted convicted paedophile Tony Dunkley making yet another totally unprovoked personal attack on me. For as long as he continues to do so and others quote these personal attacks, I will do my best to get him badly beaten up. Just don't quote them and I won't see them. Portrait of a dangerous psychopath, . . Vince ' Mr Stabby' Coventon with the bayonet he takes with him everywhere.

Got the Scoopy's variator cover off. It put up a bit of a fight, as I was expecting. Drive belt doesn't look to be in too bad condition and almost certainly not the original one so I think I'll leave it for now. Gave the transmission cover a rub-down and four coats of wheel silver paint. Just have to leave it on the stern deck for three weeks for the paint to cure now. No sign of the V5C at my fake, false and bogus address in Kent yet. If it doesn't turn up this week I'll report DVLA to the Police for an offence under the Theft Act 1968. And maybe the Protection from Harassment Act 1997.

Had another little run down the River in the coaching launch. Did a little coaching then tomorrow will have a run back up. 11 locks and about 35 miles. Seems alright. Will soon be time to reinstall at the country estate for the closed season. I like seeing Boats about but to be honest with me its quite nice when they go away and also handy to be on the private mooring out of the main Chanel.
So yeah.
It is what it is.
And we have what we have.
I surprised myself by scrubbing one side of the coaching launch back to the gelcoat so rather than having stains and weed on the side it is all white. Looks quite tidy actually. Wet n dry paper is the key.

Noticed quite a few Dunkleys in the graveyard at St John the Baptist church, Blisworth. Family connection ? Rog
