It was a frantic day of preparation today as the marquee (beer tent) arrives tomorrow. The grass cutting mob arrived on Saturday to mow the field which was all well and good but all the mown grass was left in huge piles. These all had to be collected before the lorry arrived so it was all hands on deck to gather it up. Ian was exempt from these duties as (a) he had to go for his blood test this morning and (b) his MRI was due at 4pm. Michael Gold our work party organiser, decided Ian would be better off helping him to retrieve a huge coping stone that had come away from the side near the lock and been dumped in the water by the local youths!

| Not quite what they were expecting. Maybe it shrunk in the wash! |
After 30 minutes of ferreting around with the kebs they gave it up as a lost cause and filled it in with concreted and a large slab it instead.

| Almost like hay making. |

| The skip for boaters rubbish arrived. |

hello Irene & IaI
I got your email but before I could answer saw yours re a hacker so not sending you an email until you let me know it's ssfe!
I am not staying on jandai anymore - it was too distressing, so while I empty her ready to go to a brokerage, I am staying with my mum. Looking for a house in Hucknall near ma and my other family - I'll keep you posted.
Take care, love Janice x
Hi Janice,
I'm pretty sure my email is okay now. Having changed my password all is working okay. Such a shame you are selling Jandai but I fully understand your reasoning. Please let us not lose touch,
Love
Irene and Ian
