And if you go chasing rabbits

"And if you go chasing rabbits" are words in a song from the 70s and became a bit of an earworm for me today. This was probably because Floyd woke me up at 05:00 as it was daylight and he wanted feeding (as usual). So after feeding (30 seconds + a hide chew 2 minutes) the boys were ready to go for a walk. The early morning light was very good and there were lots of rabbits around so Floyd was puffed up in hunting mode, while Fletcher took no notice at all. So although there were no White Rabbits the lyrics came to mind.





Following on from yesterdays ramblings. I managed to charge the battery for the camera, switched it on and discovered the display was distorted and had black lines. Realising that this was one of numerous items of electronic equipment (phones and cameras) that Lesley unintentionally rinses with canal water I found another camera but no charger . Eventually I used a universal charger (fits nothing properly) and the correct USB. Hey presto its photie time.

Duck or grouse!

 
Temporary spot in front of slipway as the boat being worked on is not going out for a while.


Yarwood is now moored at Upland Marina and taking advantage of the calm weather varnished the scumble on the back doors and cabin sides. The downside of having scumble on the outside of the boat that it will not last long unless it is recoated with varnish frequently.

    1. Thanks (I think). Make a chocolate cake as the gin fairy wont eat it and I will get some. Remember to praise the French in front of Aud and diss the royals. It helps her blood pressure.

  3. Joe, Joe, Joe - does the cat know what you are doing to her beautifully crafted blog? Surely going into her camera cupboard is like going into a woman's handbag? You had better get earning some brownie points. Or are you relying on insanity as a defence?

    1. Anything I say will listened to carefully and then ignored completely.

    1. As I know you, I will allow an oxymoron to be published (this time).
