Panto time...

Friday night was a celebration of Tony's one hundred and fifteenth birthday, well sixty fourth anyway, although he is ageing very quickly :-)  We had a lovely night out at Ev Zyn restaurant in the town and were all safely tucked up at home at a sensible hour, well you have to make sure these senior citizen's get home safely before they turn back into pumpkins!  On the subject of returning home safely we very nearly didn't get out in the first place.  Sandra fell in the cockpit of Tony's boat and hurt her legs, arm and chest, however she was saved from worse injuries by the provision of a natural pair of fenders which broke her fall.  She is mainly recovered now but has since come down with some sort of bug making her life a little restrained at the moment.

Saturday was Panto night at Vlicho yacht club as usual, ably produced and presented by NIVADS (Nidri Very Amateur Dramatics Society).  The whole cast put on an amazing show and it was greatly appreciated by the capacity crowd who turned up to witness it.

In the meantime we have been continuing to tick off more jobs from the list of things to do on the boat prior to the start of the sailing season.  I have been stuck in the bilges rerouting cables and pipes and generally making things neat and tidy as opposed to the surreal image of spaghetti Junction which it was in.  We've now got both the domestic and engine batteries charging successfully from the solar panels, and our current domestic battery, which was with the boat when we bought her seems to be able to cope with the fridge and other twelve volt systems running overnight  when the sun ain't shining.  At least I don't need to shell out for a new battery at the moment.

Sorry for the lack of pictures this week just the panto poster!
