Up and walked Mix and then spent the whole day playing about on the boat – not in the water, alas, but in the yard. I got all of the running rigging sorted, renewed and fixed and Rachel and I filled the water ballast tank to ensure that there are no leaks (this last didn’t start until after four because Rachel had a kilt-making day) but I was kept very busy all day finding things and fitting them together and I really enjoyed myself. It was like being retired all over again!
Mum went off to her reading group this afternoon and Olive was supplying coffees and food to the kilt-making group (I joined in the eating activities as well). We ate again in the evening and then I retired to the Bothy to think about a service for Sunday – I am standing in for Stephen because he is tied up with Gallipoli activities. Later I watched some television. I have really enjoyed today.
