Stayed put for the day. Valda nd Russ visited. They witnessed my No2's will.

Picked up Iowner, so now we are travelling with two boats again

One of my water pipe joints came apart and when when I looked under the floor storage I foud a quarter inch of water in there. So I investigated under the floorboards by the rear steps, four inches of water there. No point in panicking i have a bilge pump but no pipe to connect to it. The Farm Agricultural Engineers at Hinckley had a piece of pipe that almost fit. Got it on and pumped water for a couple of hours. i'll have to have another go tomorrow. Went to catch the burchaed a 20kg bag oc coal from the local garage, £20.59. Went to catch the bus into Hinkley but my Oxford bus pass it out of date spit. Three pounds ninety return.

Got Iceland to deliver 8 x 10kg bags coal for £64

Took Dennis to sutton Wharf, filled up with water and emptied loos. Couldn' get rid of rubbish as that facility has been withdrawn.
The coalman confirms he will arrive on Tuesday.
