Another year

Boat license renewal time again.  Why does every major bill come at Christmas?

It was a pleasure to use the CRT online renewal system.  Straightforward and simple….. which is more than I can say for the bank and it’s direct debit system.  They refused the payment pending a confirmatory telephone call to me.  Of course the call never came, which just added complexity to the process.  But it’s now all done and we’re again carefree!

So here we are once again moored on the embankment above the large Intu shopping centre at Merry Hill.  In front of us is nb Areandare with Barry & Sandra aboard.

Sunday lunch was at the nearby Round Oak carvery (rated 8/10).

Jan had a brief browse through The Range buying me some yoghurt sachets and an egg timer for Christmas.   Generosity should be reciprocated and I bought her a litre of oil for the generator.  Now she will be able to do that oil change.
