The Haywards Semi final hypo

A bitterly cold breeze spoilt what could have been a beautiful day cruising through Great and Little Hayward, the latter quite congested on the canal, making progress through the lock slower than anticipated. We moored soon after in a lovely spot overlooked by farmland housing heavy horses and geese, not Canadian. Sometime during the Reading - Arsenal FA cup semi final on TV I managed to have a hypo,missing the second half and extra time. Overall Arsenal won 2. -  1, by not playing well at all. I must have scared Steve somewhat but have yet to confer with him. He will be watching "his" team       

Liverpool play Aston Villa in the other semi-final with me later today so I hope to avoid a repeat. 

My diabetes control has been very poor lately which will need radical action to rectify but lack of access to a good diabetic doctor or nurse is the issue, and not just on the boat. As usual Lynne and I are left to tackle it, but we already have a plan and have put it into place. Results pending.

Sandon Lock was traversed without major problem but at Aston lock there was a considerable queue, delaying passage quite considerably. As the number of crews gathered on the lock and its depth (8ft, 8inches)stressed Karen,together with the large number of boats out and about, we decided to moor for the remainder of the day.
