Rain Hopping

Buster enjoying his day off

We want to get to Huddersfield before the 15th May as I am galavanting off to Ibiza and will be abandoning Yog to fend for himself again!! (awww). 
All this rain is not helping us one bit! The last thing you want to do when its hammering down is get out on the tiller isn't it.  But if we don't brave it we wont be there in time.  Tis a double edge sword, that's for sure.  So, we are doing our best to rain hop, Yog is watching the weather like a hawk and using dry windows for travelling.  Todays is 7am-10am  Therefore this morning we were off at 7.01am to try and outrun the rain.  We didn't do too bad either, managed apx 6 miles and got to Stone before the heavens opened at 10am.  It was a bit hard finding somewhere to moor, the visitor moorings were all full and we had to make alternative arrangements,  finding somewhere deep enough was the main problem. At least we had got to where we wanted to get and we were still dry!!



Once I had settled in, the rest of the day was spent lazing around and following my second favorite pastime, pottering (first fave is sleeping:0) 

I decided to do some baking and started with a big ol' plate of fairy cakes for munching on.  Yog got round to setting up his computer in the bedroom and we had a nice afternoon of browsing, facebooking and all things computer related.  
Buster enjoyed his rest from barking all day and I think he needed it as much as we did!  
He doesn't like being left in the boat when we are chugging and has been spending most of the last couple of months standing on the bed barking out of the windows.   

Next was try and sort something out for dinner.  As we have been on the go non stop for what seems like forever, the store cupboards are starting to look a bit bare.  The emergency supplies have all but gone and when Yog looks in the fridge he gets this forlorn 12 year old face on.  So I cleared out all the bits'n'bobs I had in the  fridge and managed to cobble together a couple of bacon,onion and pepper quiches :0)  Was most pleased with myself!
