hi guys some of you have been asking when you're going to see zoe and yellow
and it is today today i'm in henley miles away for the weekend and i'm making a move
from henley to ship lake and they're gonna come on board for a cruise and help me out but looks
and keep me company so you guys are going to see them in a minute
thank you so much
been a while since i've driven out
together left and the same thing happened no let's do it again what happened yeah we had a different
rope on it i think and now we've got this new one that we found we found the stroke on festy
yeah
bye bye bye thank you later
through technology and not homes okay
so we've made it we've made it to the ship lake lock um we've got a really nice mooring
i wouldn't have done it by myself i'm so glad that yellow and zoe came and helped
because this is definitely an adventure mooring but i'm here i'm ian and
it looks really really good
so
today is the first weekend in a while when we're not moving
and i'll be stationary and there is not really much planned um which is wonderful because we have
so much on during the summer so i'm gonna spend today just preparing for
all of the events that we're gonna have we're attending a few festivals
and i'm just gonna look after alba and get everything sparkly cleaned starting with laundry
we have a semi-automatic washing machine on board which is great for boats it's low wattage
it's not plugged in in any way it does require extra manual labor but it works for us
as it's not using much energy or water so we do most of our laundry on board
after making bunting for alba i got a sewing bag so i'm starting a new project i'm going to make
a couple of waterproof sitting mats for festivals i haven't got a pattern so i'm improvising
i'm working with materials i've now worked before
i'm using functions in the machine i've never used before so it's a complete
adventure i have no idea what's going to come out of it but i hope it will be usable
this is the waterproof side and this is the quilted side i'm getting quite hungry and i'm
gonna make a salad for lunch and then i'm gonna continue finishing um i'm gonna continue sewing
the sitting mats i've done one yesterday which looks okay um but i feel like i can improve on
the second one so i'm gonna try and implement the learnings from yesterday on this one
so
when i start calligraphy practice i always begin with squiggles or letters that i'd like to improve
before moving on to words or cards for our patrons
do
thank you so much for watching for your supportive comments and likes if you would
