It&#8217;s innthe lock-up somewhere&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We insured Silverdale today. It&#8217;s a lot easier than insuring a car (cheaper), we have belongings cover included. We used <a href=\"https:\/\/www.collidgeandpartners.co.uk\/\">Collidge &amp; Partners<\/a> as we used them before to insure our previous narrowboat: <a href=\"https:\/\/murpworks.com\/talesfromthebilge\/\">MIRRLESS<\/a>. We feel better now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I discussed yesterday&#8217;s incident with the lost nozzle with the Marina Office and they said they would get someone onto it. A little later, true to their word, Tim knocked on the roof. I explained the novice boater mistake . He went off to get a torch (a long thin one). He came back (phew!). He looked in the tube then went off to get a tool or implement or something. He came back (double phew!). I left him struggling to retrieve the nozzle from the pipe. There was little help I could provide. After some time, a hand pushed open the door, holding the offending item. It meant success! I just can&#8217;t thank <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whiltonmarina.co.uk\/\">Whilton Marina<\/a> enough &#8211; thank you Tim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I continued filling the water tank (without the nozzle this time). It filled much quicker with the obstruction removed. The nozzle was consigned to the spares box. Everything was back up and running and working as it should. Oh, I fixed the horn! A bit of sandpaper on the terminals, re-connect and the horn tooted! We can go in tunnels and warn oncoming boats they are about to ram us or vice versa. Does this qualify me as a Marine Engineer now?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For evening repast (we skipped fourses) we had barbecued pasty- unintentionally. The oven is an <strong>Indesit <\/strong>gas oven. It&#8217;s full size, fully functional and really pretty good. All except for there being no oven shelves or a grill pan. It makes using it tricky. Toast is effected by holding slices of bread in a frying pan, under the grill by hand. The frying pan we have, while not cast iron certainly feels like it in weight when you hold it at arms length for any length of time! I have no hairs left on my right arm due to singing. The aforementioned pasty had to sit in the trusty baking tin (it&#8217;s a multi-functional marvel). The trouble with this was that the tin was in direct contact with the base of the oven. This is also the source of the heat i.e. gas flame. The pasty cooked quickly but with a black base. Charcoal would be a good descriptor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have now ordered oven shelves and a grill pan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nineses &#8211; a cup of tea and a chocolate from the box in my hamper. Then off to bed to officially read Lord of the Rings (I&#8217;m inching my way through it).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-medium-brown-color\"><strong>rp &#8211; peace and narrowboats<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thursday 4 June 2020 I am Officially&#8230; Elevenses &#8211; I am officially a Hobbit!
