Sunny day but still too cool for mid-may. This Is my first blog from TARDIS Two via dongle. Managed to fix the back toilet door catch. DIY? No problem. Spent the morning moving a small conifer, removing another larger one and pruning a few shrubs for friends in Burton upon Trent. Back to my roots (sorry). Watched The Dam Busters on TV this afternoon, for the umpteenth time, only today there was a follow-up featuring the last remaining Survivor who returned to Europe to find the remains of his Lancaster bomber lost over France in another, later mission. He also visited the dams he had helped destroy and spoke to some of the residents in the immediate vicinity, plus laid wreaths on the graves of lost comrades. A very courageous man who reflected on the pointlessness of war. Very moving.
The marina swan has laid an egg in her pathetic excuse for a nest and appears to be taking care of it while proud dad floats up and down the canal looking smug. The local ducks have a cute family too.
We're staying aboard tonight but have yet to make plans for tomorrow.
