Who'ld have thought it, there is a mobile chippy that comes to Bettisfield and sits in the local community building car park for between 4pm and 6 pm every Saturday, so we took advantage and had ourselves a fish and chip supper. Quite a treat.

Iowner in dry dock for the week for blacking.Arrived at about half six outside at the facilities so as to get ride of my rubbish and make sure the porta pottie was empty and filled up with water.
The CRT staff arrived at about 8 o'clock and filled the dry dock to let another boat out. Once that was off and away they manouvered me into the dock, positioned my nicely and emptied the dock of water.
Robert Bird (the guy doing the blacking) arrived during this process and was ready to start pressure blasting Iowner as soon as the dock was dry.

Changeover day.Iowner out, Dennis in. My No2 couldn't stand the thoufght of living in the dry dock while all the work was being done so she had organised a hire boat from Trevor Basin so as to spend the week with her sister at Llangollen doind sisterly things.

I have an appointment at the eye hospital at Shrewsbury tomorrow nd as I hate to be taken by surprise and like to make sure everythin goes according to plan I did a dry run today. Caught the 501 from Ellesmere to Shrewsbury bus station and then a choice of busses from there to the eye hospital. Got there in plenty of time for my appointment tomorrow and checked in with reception explaining that this was a dry run and that my appintment was for tomorrrow, all OK.
The return journey was a little more arduous as I had to get to the bus station at Shrewsbury by 16:40 at the latest as that was when the last bus back to Ellesmere leaves.

Eye appointment proper.

Dennis out, my No2 back.

Somewhere quiet
