Progress continues

A good day today (I think).

Sam's business partner Matthew called this morning to congratulate us on the safe delivery of a bouncing TekTank... the M&CM office has lived through the saga of the order with us.

• We bought two wetsuits yesterday at Lidl (yes, the German supermarket), one for each boy at £19.99 each, and they both fit.
• Ben and I and his patient friend Elliott toured the charity shops of Diss this afternoon and bought numerous kilograms of reading matter to fill our bookshelves.
• I've planted some of our much-loved container plants out in the garden, where they should survive the summer OK.
• The loo is finally complete and Sam had a celebratory p** today.
• The windlass is installed too.
• The weather is better!

Tomorrow we plan to go sailing - into the River Deben overnight. The Deben has a horrible entrance (with an excellent website) which changes every winter - it looks even shallower than usual this year. Still, there is almost no wind forecast, so a nice gentle motor should test out the engine...
