After surviving a rather nasty dysentery attack, I worked away at the window frames in the garage as Steve and Dave finished off the dormer window framework and went on to complete the stud-work for the wall that separated the boat-shed from the accommodation.

After paying off Steve, Dave and Ray, the electrician, Diana and I had tea with the girls and then packed up the boat and cruised off on a balmy evening from Horning to Ludham Bridge.

I had a rather nasty experience when waking up in the early hours. The dysentery attack that had affected Debbie seemed to have spread to me as I had to shed my pyjama bottoms. Awoke a little late and Steve was first out with David Goodman to get the cover off of the timber and the work under way. They finished off the dormer window framework and then cut out the unwanted timbers and then went on to form and complete the stud-work for the wall that separates the boat-shed from the accommodation. This whilst I worked away at the window frames in the garage, finishing the process of cutting off the excess timber nibs and starting the second coat of woodstain, having sanded them down thoroughly.

Diana took the girls into Norwich to a play centre and did not arrive back until late afternoon. After paying off Steve, Dave and Ray, the electrician, Diana and I had tea with the girls and then packed up the boat so as to be able to cruise off on a balmy evening. With Debbie at the helm, we cruised slowly past Horning village taking a good look at the variety of riverside bungalows and then on up the River Ant so as to stop just upstream of Ludham Bridge for the night. There had been one or two heavy showers today but they had not really held up the work.
