Stensen to Cuba

i've given up giving morning weather reports. For several days now it has been sunny and almost summery in Anstey, only to get to MCC for it to turn into torrential rain and cold winds. However, returning presents the opposite scenario with dry roads, no puddles and absolutely no sign of recent rain. We're looking for a marina much nearer home in our micro-climate. Tardis Two is afloat again and "wobbles" when you walk through, much more like home. I complained to the Canal and River Trust a few days ago about the overhanging trees and scrub along one side of the Trent and Mersey canal between Stensen and Burton, restricting it to half width and subsequent damage to boat paintwork. All credit to them as they emailed back today stating they have programmed the work to begin in August. Efficient or what? No fits today but still no response from my private consultant, apart from an invoice, despite a full-on attack from Lynne. These tactics have always worked in the past so perhaps we will need to refine or alter them. Tomorrow is another day. My recollections of early flights on ancient aircraft reminded me of an adventurous flight to Cuba via Cubana Airways. I already knew they used retired Russian planes but was pleasantly surprised to see a leased/borrowed/stolen DC10 roll up to the getaway gate at Gatwick. Apart from the air-con not working and the obvious extreme age it seemed OK and got us to Cuba without hassle, only to crash in Ecuador less than a month later with no survivors. Cuba is a great place to visit, by the way.
