No boaty action makes me sad..
Ah well we have the new house to look forward to but first if the clown down london lets us we have a 10 days break in the canaries to enjoy.
Then the pub shed can commence, have big plans and everyone is invited to the grand opening, unless you haven't had a jab of course.

I'd invite you to spend some time on the boat but I don't want you vaccinated Sheeple on board weakening my immune system.

Need to get a job next year , so all adventure planning is on hold. Hopefully I'll find something part time (2 or 3 days a week will do). If that pans out ok then I'll be limited to short trips, maybe a trip up the Thames but will wait to see what happens before getting my hopes up.

Considering a trip down the GU and into Paddington ... not been since 2017 ... it will depend on if I can book a stay in Rembrandt Gardens.
We shall see.

Good choice as these craft have a good safety record vis à vis avoiding collisions with bridges. It's a contact sport. Indeed. I have kept the souvenir stone which launched itself at me from Wallingford Bridge in a near miss on yellow boards as I approached. Wondered where the previous lockie was - out with his red ones! Not an experience I would care to repeat too soon - hence my preference for the safety of the ditches. Great fun at the time, though.

I've been on the Thames 3 times, and the only thing I wouldn't do again is downstream from Teddington/Brentford to Limehouse. The reverse presented no problems, but it is so boring when you've done it once.

I like the tidal Thames but London itself is a pain, difficult to moor etc and I'm not the greatest fan of the GU either. I will definitely head north again this year, might go to Liverpool again, I liked it there. Maybe the Lancaster Canal again too. I do want to spend some time on the Caldon as well though. But that could all change by Easter, I generally make it up as I go along.

The thames is terrible. Or so I have heard. I've been training the children to give me covid from school so I can die a martyr to the unvaxxed cause

Actually not thought of that.
I was discussing the situation with the girls earlier and apparently they are going to have to wear arse masks to filter their farts as of next week while in school.
Farts carry approximately 286x the viral load of breathing.
You heard it here first.
