I get the narrowboat ‘ship shape’… Day 224

Saturday 2nd March Day 224

I’ve had to put my foot down and ordered Chris to stay in bed for the day to rest his very swollen knee. So, in-between feeding him, making drinks, ordering him to rest and giving him painkillers, I crack on and give the boat a thorough good clean as well as grouting the tiles, painting the wall where the cabinet is going in the shower room as we decide we want it green, fitting the sticky vinyl into the cubby holes in the shower room so they look nicer and a million other jobs. ((Alright, taking all the credit whilst he’s laid up!))

I emptied the toilet ((Oh how the mighty have fallen)) normally Chris’s job but I really don’t mind. First I wandered up to the marina office and brought a trolley back, then I loaded it with the toilet cassette, sorted the stern out and got rid of all the rubbish, all the boxes from the various deliveries to be recycled. It feels really good to be getting everything straight again even if we still have stuff to do.

I’m absolutely knackered by the end of the day but have thoroughly enjoyed having the energy to do it, as you will know if you read this blog I’ve had one cold after another as well as bloody hormones playing up so it’s nice to actually be able to get something done. A very satisfying Day Done! Until tomorrow. x
