Our morning view at
Bascote...
|
My legs have been aching
off and on for the last few days. This
normally only happens when I hurt my back and my legs get stressed to compensate
for the back spasm. My back has felt
alright this week so we have assumed it’s something else and that my back is
OK.
The plan for Buddy’s
morning walk on Thursday was to go to the Co-op in Long Itchington to pick up
some salad stuff and then go for a walk in the woods. As it was, I only got about 100 yards and then
started to hobble, so it was back to the boat to take it easy for the rest of
the day. I blame Lauren, my middle
daughter, as she caused my original slipped disc 26 years ago. She was a baby and I was putting her into her
car seat one day and found I couldn’t straighten up. I was taken to hospital and ended up being
off work for two months. Ever since then
my back goes into spasm about once year.
We had planned to have an
evening cruise up the Stockton flight when Karen got home from work but clearly
that wasn’t going to happen and we stayed put all day. There are several people moored here at
present who work locally. Poor Karen is
the last home so gets the worst parking spot in terms of puddles and not quite
being off the road.
I had a good chat with
Steph and Maurice on their boat Dibitu, she works in Banbury and he works at
Napton. Before they bought it, their narrowboat
had been on all the navigable waterways of England, Wales and Scotland and also
a large number of mainland European ones.
Talking about European waterways, Mike and Aileen seem to be really
enjoying cruising round France and I have to admit that Aileen’s blog writing
puts mine to shame (Aileen's blog).
I mention Aileen as she
had a piece of interesting news yesterday, she had been asked to write an
article on having their boat shipped to France and their first six months
travelling there. She has now been told
that her article will be published in Canal Boat magazine over the next two
months. At least I can take the credit
for convincing her to start writing a blog 😊
