Rock 'n' Roll pontoon...

Sandra get the last drop of Katoghi Rose out of the bottle.
 It's been a couple of weeks since I last wrote anything and I don't seem to have drawn breath for most of the time.  The night before Sanny went back to the UK we had a night in Preveza with Debs and Jez who had found a lovely little wine bar with excellent village wine at the right price, of course they had Katoghi wine so San had to have some of that.

Plenty more wine to be getting on with.
 Sandra set off for Athens the next morning and after an overnight stay flew to the UK the next day.  The idea was to visit her dad who is having some scans taken at the moment but it happened that she could avail herself of our old house as our eldest son now lives there and was having a short holiday for himself with his family so needed a house/dog sitter, two birds with one stone.

The first job I did was repair the stereo on the boat which was a five minute job but took three hours to find the problem.  Anyway since then the pontoon has been rocking to the likes of Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and the Stones, I don't often get the chance to listen to my stuff so I've made the most of it.

Andrea and Ricky in Porto.
On the subject of "rocking", Tommy managed to fall into the water a few days ago whilst trying to get back on his boat.  Then a couple of days later Jules fell in Remezzo's and damaged her fingers, and then a couple of days later managed to fall off her boat late at night.  Dangerous thing this living in a marina.  All are OK although a few bruises were encountered and Jules' fingers are still strapped up.

I did manage to get into Porto firstly on Friday for a farewell bash.  Although all those who planned to leave have had to revise their plans with the crap weather yesterday so the exodus will be next week when it looks great.  Then in Porto on Saturday for the rugby and then again on Monday prior to a birthday party so I've not gone without you understand.

Anyway most of my scheduled jobs have been either completed or postponed for other reasons and I even managed to get all the washing done, dried, ironed and put away this morning (browney points?).  Just the big clean-up tomorrow before San returns tomorrow night.
