Unloading and moving the barge from under Harnser to Heronshaw to make room for The Paxton Princess and continuing work as we heard of a tragic accident on the Hoveton/Horning road where a mother and three-year-old boy died driving a Skoda when their vehicle was in collision with a bus.
I treated Steve out for a meal at The Broads Hotel in Wroxham this evening and saw the touching tribute of a modest vase of flowers filled with flowers left on the verge.
The government today abolished the Wages Councils and now Britain is the only country in Europe not to have statutory minimum wage legislation.
I slept well and then awoke to my radio and began getting washed and dressed before breakfast. Out at 7.30am to join Steve and Alan at work and we spent the first part of the morning unloading the barge, moving it under Heronshaw and making room for the Paxton Princess in its new home of The Harnser. The whole process was quite tiring as we pushed up the long lengths of timber onto the roof beams of the boat-house and then took out nearly two pallets of spare roof tiles by hand and stacked them elsewhere. I then cut and fixed the cornice and lighting rails to the kitchen wall units whilst Steven did some scrim-taping and filling to the ceilings and Alan grouted the kitchen tiles, fitted the mid-shelf unit and then fitted the shower spray heads and slides in the bathroom.

As we worked radio reports started coming in about an accident on the Hoveton/Horning road that had blocked the thoroughfare and then we heard that a mother and three-year-old boy driving a Skoda were the victims as they died when their vehicle was in collision with a bus. I found the news quite upsetting as there will now be a bereaved father and husband. Such incidents are such a waste of their lives and upset to the lives of others. As I took Steve out for a meal at The Broads Hotel in Wroxham this evening, I saw the touching tribute of a modest vase of flowers filled with flowers left on the verge. Somebody else had also been touched by the news. The bangs, crashes and flashes were happening this evening as most people seem to have chosen the actual night of the 5th to celebrate their bonfire night. The government today abolished the Wages Councils and now Britain is the only country in Europe not to have statutory minimum wage legislation. Workers will now be exploited again.
