The day working at Heronshaw, using expanding foam to surround the fridge liner and re-installing the fridge compressor and controls into the right position to await the refrigeration engineer. Then tearing off the lining under the Heronshaw boat house and so, tired and dirty, the evening resting after tea, reading today's newspapers and absorbing the election coverage. The Labour lead is held up just a couple of points ahead of the Tories and the weather still disappointing, though milder it was also wet and breezy.
A bit slower off the mark this morning. To Wroxham for the newspapers and another carton of milk but, most shops being closed, I drove back to Horning and got them there. The day working on the Paxton Princess, using the available expanding foam to surround the fridge liner and re-installing the fridge compressor and controls into the right position to await the refrigeration engineer. This was a slow but steady process, but I was ready later. Broke off for lunch of cheese sandwiches and then went into the Heronshaw boat-shed underneath and tore off most of the cork insulation that was concealing the structure underneath.

It is my intention to draw up the existing structure and survey the state of the woodwork before making a final decision on either restoring or rebuilding it.

I spent the evening resting after tea, reading today's newspapers and absorbing the election coverage. It seems that the die is cast and Labour is held up a couple of points ahead of the Tories and may well have to rely on Liberal Democrat support to form a government. The weather still disappointing, though milder it was also wet and breezy.
