Travelling, bus diversion and Arnold Schwarzenegger! Day 205

Monday 12th February Day 205

Mum and I get up early today as we have two more episodes of The Tourist to watch and I don’t have the channel to watch it on the boat. Wow, what a series. Highly recommend it if you’re into thriller/dramas.

At 11ish I finally say goodbye to the family and it’s back on the train. Once again, everything goes smoothly with the trains until I get back to Stafford to catch the bus. For some reason the bus company said part of the road is shut at the point where I need to get off but cars seem to be getting through okay. Anyway, once it arrives; late of course, I figure out that I need to get off in the village and walk back to the marina but that only adds about ten minutes to my journey so I will take that.

It’s nice to get back to the boat and we start making a list of everything we need to get done before we leave and decide to finally order the washing machine. I think I’ve already said that we decided to have a proper washing machine because we realised we have spent about £140, I think it was so far on paying for launderettes and after we used our special gadget for measuring water we realised the water tank on the boat holds more than enough water for us to use a proper one rather than the twin tub. Although I have loved my twin tub!

In the evening I was flicking through trying to find something to watch and found a documentary/biography on Arnold Schwarzenegger which was really interesting. I especially liked his attitude to life. Basically, stop moaning ((As if you could!)) don’t have spare time where you can mope around and get anxious or depressed, get up, get it done and be useful. I think they are pretty good words of advice. Day done. x
