True to forecast, the weather continued to hover around the "glorious" end of the scale, so we did what any sensible person would do, and kept cleaning things.
Not just things that get cleaned in the course of a normal life, things like the insides of the battery boxes, and the window sliders and the aluminium brackets that hold the roof mechanism. Things that haven't seen fresh air for thirty years sort of cleaning, and maybe things that need a new screw here and a drop of oil there sort of cleaning. It's all stuff that we've been meaning to do of course, and now we have.
The really nice thing about spending two days working on the boat, is that we are in Saverne, and when we need a break, at morning tea time we can pop around to the Patisserie just to buy a pastry escargot and a baguette to have with our coffee, and in the cool of the evening we can wander up town and look down the main street at the sun setting on the side of the mountains and plan to go there tomorrow and pinch ourselves and feel absolutely content with our lot.
All that's missing at the moment is a chap to clean the boat while we watch.
