From there will be doing the handover and bringing our new boat back to Acle then come home.

Then after work Saturday both Ros and I will be back again to enjoy a weekend on our new tub
Good afternoon Jeff. Both of you must be thrilled to bits about the new boat. Thanks for the photos and specs. With bow thrusters, a big engine, plush leather cockpit seats, life on the waves is going to be fun

I've worked out why brother Jeff has opted for a sea going cruiser, he intends cutting the shipping costs for the Naval units by nipping over to Shanghai and picking them up himself.

Hmm, just one thing . . . . Somali pirates! I'm not sure if the LCOZ could raise the ransom if you were kidnapped, I mean a tenner is a lot of money.

The restaurants in Tesco used to be Tesco's own but they're a franchise now, least they are up here. The cholesterol increasing breakfast fry ups are good though.
