Two for the price of one!

Another walk into Rugby this morning which ended at the town Museum, Library, and Visitor Information Centre.

These modern buildings are somewhat boring and we find these quirky and quaint older buildings much more interesting.  ‘The Squirrel’ pub is a good local example.

Shaped like a thin wedge with low doorways and scarcely a vertical or horizontal line in it.  A pity the exterior has been painted!  I’d like to return and have a look at the interior.

Oh…. why the walk into Rugby?  Jan had been doing some internet searching and discovered if we went to the Rugby Visitors Information Centre it was possible to purchase tickets for the Crick Boat Show this weekend on a ‘buy one get one free’ deal.  So we now have two concession tickets for the show for a total cost of £10.

Jan is very good at sniffing out a bargain!

The afternoon was spent on Waiouru.  The starboard side received another wash and a second coat of polish.  Needed a beer after that effort.  Only the bow, roof and stern left to do! The generator was also brought out of storage and run to fully charge the domestic battery bank.  Once the batteries reached the ‘Absorption’ stage the 240v immersion heater in the calorifier was switched on so there would be plenty of hot water for tonight’s showers. 

Jan cooked liver in a tasty gravy sauce for dinner and also made a bread and butter pudding from the last of the old bread. 

Tomorrow the plan is to head back into Rugby and see if we can register as patients with a local medical practice as we plan to make Rugby the ‘hub’ for our annual cruising plans.
