the weekend has been good........... weather has been more than springlike, there have been positive hints of summer about some of it. I was actually wandering around with naked shoulders! and this is still March! Actually cleaned up Pete's patio furniture and basked whalelike on his balcony for a while which was very pleasant.......
Had a new toy to play with... a quad bike that is 'street-legal' it has indicators, lights and is registered for road use!!! Very nippy between cars! Ok to drive/ride it with a car license but still need to wear a helmet......
The boat........... it moved!! it didn't really go far but is now facing the opposite direction! Unfortunately because there is so little ballast the rudder is out of the water...... so you cant steer it!! As this type of boat is basically meant to carry tons of cargo it is easier to steer when full..... so we need to either pour concrete into it or some similarly heavy stuff! Apparently for the purist concrete isn't such a good idea ......... I guess because once set its impossible to move?? Anyway Island Hope is rather a heap at the moment -an unsteerable heap!! hmmmmmmmmm it's going to be an interesting summer.
