To infinity and beyond

The five double locks completed yesterday took their toll on me physically so inevitably I slept well until 0900, although somewhat worrying concerning future performance and stamina, particularly when we inevitably encounter staircase locks or long flights when mooring mid-term is impossible, but I guess we'll cope somehow ? Similarly, the boat electrics are still suffering with performance shortfalls but we have learned to overcome them to the point where running the engine for an hour or two before bed has become habitual. Still no response from Trading Standards, which is annoyingly frustrating but "patience is a virtue" lingers on the mind, but the hungry vulture's "sod patience, I'm going to kill something" statement  is looming ever closer.
