Brownian motion-type musings on barge renovation, life and other bits of flotsam.
D-Day...
Not "Storming Omaha Beach" D-Day, but a pretty important day for Zee....
Well dear reader, where to start? I guess first is an apology for being "comms down" for such a long time. To bring you up to speed in a pretty short amount of time I will start from just pre-Covid. Here we go:
Second child born, new job in marketing for gas turbines, moved to Lincolnshire, main company owner (multi billion . . .
Elvis is still not dead
He's just been really, really busy with other stuff....
It has been some considerable time since I have been hugged tight to the warm bosom of my small, yet perfectly formed, readership, for which I truly apologise. That said, we are back after a few major life events. To bring you briefly up to speed from April 2019 -
New addition to the family, moved out of the MIL's house to a . . .
She's a Staaa-aaaa-aaar
(Part 2)
Now the series 'His Dark Materials' has started I can confirm that Zeelandia plays a starring role in that she is John Faa's ship, King of the Gyptians. I have spotted her once in the first scene with the Gyptians....(third row from the left, 2nd barge from the bottom of the picture)
The weather was scorchio for . . .
Elvis is not dead...
Elvis is not dead. I say again, Elvis is not dead…. And by Elvis I mean me, your favourite Captain of disaster and mishap, weaver of words and hilarity and all round, well, you get the idea. I have to apologise for my somewhat extended break from the blog. In short, new job, new county, house move, new child. Pretty much covers it….
. . .The Power and the Glory...
(well, no power as yet and 'glory' is debatable...)
One of the biggest snags I have when I visit the Boatyard is not lack of enthusiasm, but lack of electrical power. There are plenty of 240V points but Zee is at least 75 yards from the nearest point meaning I have to get enough 240V extensions from around the yard, ensure they have the right plugs, lay them all, and then no doubt check where . . .
Is there a god?
I mean talk about 'click bait' in the title right? Well, why am I suddenly questioning the existence of the divine? Well,it's not the way you think. I am actually starting to suspect that my trust in empirical lack of evidence for a grand creator. "Why?" I hear you cry. Well, it surely cannot be correct that one person . . .
"Two masts, or not two masts? That is the question"
So this could be my most contentious post in all the time I have been blogging. Far more contentious than some of my other musings like, "Is Trump a genius?", "The Earth IS flat and here's the proof..." and "Islamic State - not evil murderous scumbags, just misunderstood and in need of a hug".
