We were a bit glad we didn’t tell anyone we had planned to move on today.
We had topped up with the things that needed topping up, and were sort of in no man’s land this morning, loafing about to fill in a bit of time until one of the locks downstream that was due to open after a bit of maintenance.
Then we realised that if we left tomorrow we would get to lay around in the sunshine all day instead of just an hour or two, and didn't have to face the uncertainty of the work being completed by the time we arrived.
So we changed our plan, had a cup of coffee, and began doing nothing in a bit more earnest.
It’s not as though we were completely idle, but every now and then it’s nice just to be “retired”, and push all thought of doing "something" out of sight.
Even after a gentle stroll to the other side of the river to photograph our mooring (that’s us in the blue), and another to observe first hand just how much water was still flowing over the barrages, we’d barely made half the recommended quota of steps for the day.
Tomorrow is Monday. We really should move on.
