Spruce as a Moose???

And then there were two...

It is now back to just Jarvis and I on the boat until around October time. After a heartfelt 'so long' to our friends we came back to the boat and thought we'd give her a clean up.. y'know, potter around a bit have a look at the battery situation (getting oh so much worse on the charging front since the new alternator..eep) and, as we have awesome internet, do all the little jobbies that keep pileing up.

....6 hours later we have hardly made a dent!

All those little things that we have been putting off from a full oven blitz to a hull scrub and then from catching up with emails to friends to sorting banking.... the time seems to just munch it's way through the day. Maybe we have been boatified too long now and are used to having a whole day just to do the washing up... but it just seems immence the sheer amount of things to do!!

Internet time is sparce as a general rule - so those kind of things go in a very tight order of importance:-
  1. Email the mums (we love them and they worry)
  2. Update the blog & FaceBook (to let everyone we know, and some we don't, be in the know as to our adventures)
  3. Email selection of friend on a rolling rota (sad i know but only way we can email everyone)
  4. Upload photos
  5. Other - internet banking, finding info about places, donwloading music/books/recipies (when we get awesome connection)
And as for the boat jobbies, well in 32 degree weather it makes most of them seem like a "we'll do it tomorrow"  task instead.

So now we are left with a list as long as long as my arm of stuff to do and, to be honest, apart from the emailing and blogging, we really have no desire to do any of it!

With a view like this...

... I think the accounts, the cleaning, the boat maintenence and clothes washing can all be relegated to a job for 'maƱana', after all it's only each other who has to deal with it now so erm.. no cleaning until October it seems :)


 Tia and Jarvis, Over and Out!
