The swan got fed up ( or went for a tea break ) around 0830 hrs so we nipped out to remove the offending fender and took the opportunity to move Tardis Two from overlapping the bow of the boat in front into a more comfortable space vacated by the boat behind. Lynne took any remaining boxes of cat food and cat litter to the vets,glad to remove all evidence of her beloved pets from the boat. She is still very upset by the happenings and losses of the past few days, as are we both, so Margaret is arranging to remove us from our boating environment for the day, firstly taking Lynne to have her wrist x-rayed, as ordered by the vet ( she refused to listen to Margaret or myself ) then giving us a"day in the country" to help ease our pain. The swan returned around 0915 and made it plain he was enraged at having his plaything removed by pecking the boat in between charging up and down the boat side at an amazing rate of knots for half an hour or more.
Berkhamsted has certainly been memorable.
Margaret and Bob took us out for lunch and gave us a tour of my old childhood haunts before giving us tea and returning us to the boat, a great old folk's day out. Lynne refused to take the vet's advice and x-ray her wrist at the local hospital A & E, but claims it is less painful today.
