Don't you just hate Monday mornings we laid in bed listening to the rain lashing down and the trains passing in the distance packed with those happy commuters  one of us crawled out of bed at  nineish and made the other her cup of tea it was still raining but a good day for gawping and passing the time of day with passersby we eventually walked up into the village bought pizza for tea , milk and a tin of beans , high living! this evening we have been visiting our neighbours in the boat behind us Norman & Shirl who are based on the Erewash canal , one we will visit at a later date, had a couple of glasses of wine and a good talk about boats and life in general
