Swaying gently in the breeze

Hey everyone! Have you missed me? Isn't this amazing - I've managed to find an internet cafe by the canal - in fact its in a boat too. Its permanently moored by a marina, and it does all day breakfasts and big steaming cups of tea, but you can also log on on a laptop and send emails etc - all while stil bobbing gently on the water. I like this life, you know. I've not felt so relaxed for ages, even though I'm still a bit cold and damp and probably in need of a good scrub down (not that easy to get a decent wash under the "shower" that only drips half a teaspoon of tepid water at a time). But I'll go back to my mother's tomorrow and get my washing done. Tim said he'l come pick me up. It was great last weekend with Toni here too (though Tim ended up hanging around a bit too long - I just wanted him to go and ;leave us alone, but he didn't get the hint (or choosing not to - probably more likely). Toni really got into the spirit of it all - she was pretty good at steering and pulling the boat in to the bank with the ropes and everything, considering she's only a girl...

Back to work on Monday - that's going to be the real test - can I get there from the boat (I've found somewhere to moor where it should work out - reckon if I dust off my bike I can get to a station that's only a few miles away in about 10 mins) - can I get clean enough to not get any snide "personal hygiene" comments from my lovely co-workers.

Just had a look at Brim's blog and he seems like he's not in a good way. Come join me on the boat, mate - that'll take you out of your head for a bit. What'dya reckon?

Hey, my cup of tea and egg/chips/beans/sausage/tomato has arrived, so I'll sign off now, dear readers... happy sailing....
