PAINTWORK! FURNITURE AND OTTERSPOOL, why does it all happen at once..

Well, organised a day dedicated to our girls, Millie & Maizee that is but had a call from the boat builder. Painter be down within the hour, that's a laugh.
An hour later the furniture maker arrives to check our complaints about the suite, all problems solved there but even after they leave, no painter!

Oh a phone call, who could that be. Yes the painter, down in an hour. Wasn't holding our breath but there you go, don't be so negative I say.
He did arrive but god give us strength, what a terrible job, maybe it will be nicer when it dries.
Will take a picture in the morning, please look nice...

Anyway, we went to Otterspool and the park was lovely, came home and looked up the history and found so much info.
The girls had fun too as you can see on the pics, oh and I stuck a pic of the muddies that Kal knocked himself out on. We were mortified when we saw them!
Hope you have all had a good day...

WORK HAS BEGUN..

At last, been out all day getting the car MOT done and visiting my Aunt Marj, who helped me relieve myself of some grey ! Arrive back at the boat and Hooray they have started on repairing the knocks and scratches that were made when replacing the rudder..
Can I just take this moment to say that when we first travelled through to Liverpool in March last year I hadn't felt like I needed a widebeam, when we reached Burscough and my husband had been hit by the bug, I hadn't and said no so many times.

I was so happy, I loved Millimaize so so much and I was so so sad when we sold her but I have to say that this widebeam is just the Biz. Thank goodness I gave in....

Paintwork still not done!

Well another day where we were promised someone would come and start to fix the scratch made when they replaced the rudder.......deep breath....
Hope you like our early morning picture towards the ferry at the pier head, Liverpool, just behind the Liver Buildings and the one close to tea -time showing the strangely square ship that's in! Must find out about its squareness....

And on a high note we eventually got our furniture from Harvey's, after a long battle, a lot of lies and a few arguments. Really pleased though and looking forward to the full effect once the floor is fitted...

Off to bed now, see what tomorrow brings, night all....

Sunshine, football and concussion!

Well what a pleasant day today, lovely sunshine in the dock,,,,,,,,
Lovely trip to Crewe to watch the football with our boating neighbour John, sorry we invited him to such a rubbish game haaaaa had a laugh though.

And then, phone call , Kal has fallen off his bike, blacked out for a couple of mins and drove his uncle mad for 3 hrs repeating himself......

If only kids would listen!!!,!

Took a couple of pics towards town in the morning sun to share with you and stuck a pic of Kals face for prosperity.....

Pottering

Nice weather today, won't be spending it on the boat though. Need to do the rounds and get some jobs done.
Always hate this, leaving the boat and surroundings that come with it and slip back into the community..
Alas sometimes there's no choice. Today we checked on one sons extention, getting ready for my first grandchild. so excited to have a baby around and all that comes with it....also visited my Aunt,she misses us, and picked up post from my brothers.
Really need to give the boat a clean but can you believe there's not been much time! Maybe tomorrow.
Our neighbour on NB Borderline, John, has bought curtain material for me to do his curtains. So there's a job that I havn't managed to start.....won't take long though....
Tomorrow were picking the last of our storage boxes up, ahhhh blender for my soup.
Apart from all that I am still hoping for a miracle for our friend...goodnight for now x

Lovely sunny day at Speke Hall

What a beautiful day it was today. Took the girls ( Millie & Maizee ) our Jack Russels to Speke hall Grounds today for a good runabout.

Also called for a couple more boxes from storage, picked Kals bike up from its service and then headed back to the comfort of our boat.

My eldest Jonathan and his partner are having the garage converted ready for their new arrival and Matthew had a haircut!

Hope you like the picture, the sun was in the wrong place and I have had to zoom in and screenshot it from my phone but better than nothing.....
