Gosh, we were warm last night. That stove of ours gives out a goodly amount of heat! Crazy when windows have to be opened so we could get cool again. Then this morning, after a restless night of throwing quilt off then back on again as the window was letting in a tad to much cold air, tea was welcomed even though it was only 6.45 am. Glancing out of the window I noticed the sky had this strange colour to it. Ian said he thought it lavenderish (is that a word?) but to me, it was more like a yukky pink. And before you say it must have been a red sunrise, well the cloud cover stopped that thought. Anyway, two photos untouched by any computer wizardry and the actual colour seen this morning.

Rain nearly all day so apart from giving FS a thorough clean inside and Ian doing the battery checks, its been a day of watching TV. Seen two boats on the move, one a hire boat and one a plastic cruiser.
Hire boat skipper and crew very wet standing on the back deck and the cruiser with pram top up and well covered obviously not giving a dam about the weather.
How much rain is needed to bring this river up? The lock keepers mentioned how low the Thames was and even the weirs are only letting a small amount of water through. He reckons a good month of torrential rain to bring the levels back to normal. So in a way, I'm not too worried but there is a marker of sorts on the far bank that I'm keeping a close eye on. If this disappears then it's time to slacken ropes!
