Cold beer and falling in the water. I've done both today. Very irresponsible when in sole charge of small children. But they did find it funny !

I hate going in the water I just fell in while moving a kayak sitting too high up. Killed the phone. Luckily I always have crap old phones anyway. Not my chosen activity playing in water. I much prefer to be on top of it.

Wet towels hung in the hatches - not too bad really! 🥵 Cider. This, spent most of the day under an umbrella on the stern with wet towels round my head and neck but gave up and walked to the two boats and now sat with a nice cold cider with ice! Still 34 degrees and I have to some crappy wedding later, I refuse to wear formal wear so in shorts and a shirt ! Tomorrow’s cooler so making a run up the last 13 of the GU back in the Oxford to home.

This is a former lock on the now abandoned itchen navigation

The GWR train was also ACed.
