Spent a couple of days at Thatcham, and went to a Marston pub for lunch. 3 had the roast and I had a sizzlinn' chicken, that was so sizzling it made everyone cough as it came to the table. Towpath tipple that evening, which was nice. Mootched around Thatcham looking for Poop Scoops, as both Jim and myself have accidently knocked ours overboard.  Found a cat litter scoop, that  helped out.  As it looks like a fish slice, it might get washed and used for the bbq( whenever that should happen). 

ONLY JOKING !!!!!!





Moved on to Newbury, a nice town, and a nice mooring on the park. Into Wilkinsons for 2 pukka poopscoops, and they float and they were only £1, and on the strength of that, we were all sad enough to walk back and purchase a BackupperPooperScooper each.


We have had 2 days here due to the weather !!!!!  Today( Tuesday), it has been heaving down, so not much point in moving. Took the dogs out for a wet walk, and I went to a Launderette------joy of joys. !   As my washing machine is knacker.......not working anymore, and I am having to hand wash.! The launderette was fantastic and cheap, and so close to the canal. I shall be using it on the return journey. 

Tomorrow, we will move off again, and perhaps see some pretty countryside.  People have told us how pretty it is, but I don't think we have got to that part yet.

anyway I am droning on.  

The mating pigeons are very amusing here.  The males certainly try their hardest to inveigle the females into a bit of "lovin'". and talking of that, we all watched( furtively from around the curtains), a couple on a bench near the boats having the most wonderful "SNOG" .
