Missed cruising day

Warm and very sunny. The cool wind continues but at a much reduced velocity. A perfect cruising day. We stayed in Anstey for the night and travelled over to Tardis Two early in the morning to meet the man from Travelsat to fit our sky system. Several hours later and somewhat deafened (he spoke non-stop very loudly)we had a very smart satellite dish on the roof with the option of Sky on one TV and Freeserve on the other. What more could you wish for? No more moaning while I watch Arsenal at the expense of cooking or craft programmes. Tardis Two was still in the position we left her, securely tied to the bank, which was a relief. The central heating still doesn't work,(in April !!!) nor do the bow thrusters. We also discovered a water leak in the wet Cupboard (that is not a pun). We were asked to make a list of faults for Marian, Eddie's wife, to allow rectification whilst still at Stensen. A further invoice was not so much presented, more thrown. Think pit bull, wasp and swallowed. A light switch is now fitted in the rear toilet, making night trips far less hazardous and exciting. We previously could only have an illuminated midnight pee by flicking a trip switch near the rear door in pitch blackness. Eddie was as pleasant as ever. Think St Bernard/poodle hybrid. Two close friends paid a welcome visit and we cracked-on finishing fitting the blinds, which look fantastic. Full credit to Lynne for a wonderful job. We can now sleep and/or walk about naked without the fear of being spotted by late evening gongoozlers. I'm not sure who would get more of a shock, requiring the assistance of a paramedic. We aim to revisit Tardis Two tomorrow and pay our (last?) bill with further cruising planned for next weekend. Watch the weather change.
