There's an update to the engine saga, Ian removed one of the injectors and found soot to be present, just as he and Tom suspected all along. Because we couldn't take them to Gee Diesel Services until the next day, he decided to replace the injector so we could charge the batteries. And there lay a big problem. Yes the injector was replaced but what he failed to do was tighten one of the nuts sufficiently and by starting the engine failed to notice diesel peeing out. I noticed the smell first, the engine had been running for a good 5 minutes. Ian was shocked when he saw what had happened and a day later is still in the process of cleaning it up!
Of course, we failed to remember a bank holiday was coming up, so I expect it will be next week before we get the serviced injectors back. In the meantime, our generator is the only means of charging batteries. It's a bit noisy, so glad we have no boat nearby.
And wildlife

Well, fancy taking a Parrot paddleboarding...amazing, just when you think you've seen everything on the canals too!
Hope all goes well with your engine and what wonderful wildlife picks, is that a Pike? Ann xx
Oh darn, on all fronts!

Thank you, Ann. It is a Pike, the water clarity is excellent at the moment, very easy to get a photo. I also have a polarised lens which helps to cut down glare on the surface. Xxx
You could say that, Marilyn! I think I said something a little stronger (: Xxx
