Today I have sanded down the new plaster in the window alcove ready to paint. Dust everywhere of course. Hey I love vacuuming 
The new front door was supposed to be fitted this morning by Mike, but it wasn’t until this morning that I found out they’d given him the boot. Mike apparently didn’t share his diary, so only Mike and I knew there was an arrangement. Hm, great system. But I stay calm. 
So someone else will now be in touch. Let’s hope his employment lasts the week.
I’m glad Paul’s moved so I can see him on the webcam - nice. Pity about getting clouted - twice! I think he’s safer where he is now.
I went to Physio today. Knurdled again. I await the consequences tomorrow.

If you go to http://www.rnsyc.net/news.php then not only will you find yourself on the excellent website of the Royal Norfolk and Suffolk Yacht Club, you will also see Stargate left of centre in the foreground, looking rather little next to a Broom motor cruiser.

The weather is yet again quite unpredictable but it looks like Sunday may be a possible for my departure to Dover. In fact the wind may well calm on Saturday or even later today but with it being easterly for a few days now here the sea may take a while to calm down so Sunday is the better day.
This all assumes I get my bow anchor roller fitting fixed!

A weekend in Lowestoft, airshow, powerboats, sunny weather… what more could I want?
Well, it wasn’t such a good idea as it turned out. I am the very first boat that people see when they enter the marina and so far I have been hit twice on my berth. Once yesterday by a rib and once in the middle of the night. Both, in my opinion, through bad boat handling and poor planning and both completely avoidable… again, in my opinion.
The damage is not too serious… I hope… a bent bow roller fitting, so much so that I cannot use the anchor so it needs fixing before I can go to sea. Also, the yacht in the night ran his bow anchor along my starboard guardrail and possibly stressing the mountings. I will have to have a close look at that today.
I am not a happy bunny right now as you can imagine especially as I have had to stay up for the rest of the night on boat watch in case some others want to have a go at my little boat.
