Bookmarked a load of stuff I want to learn about. So putting on a load of DJ sets I have on my watch later. Starting off with Amdromedik.

Fireworks, seems a bit weird for them to be going off on a monday night.

I do and yes they do suck it up quickly. We have single glazing so the condensation is always an issue. We also run a dehumidifier to try and keep it down.

Culture Shock getting me through the afternoon. Love a bit of D&B when I am feeling grumpy.

Weather today is horrid, damp and cold and just grey sky. Going to make a dal for tea, that should at least warm us up a bit.

Watching some Police doggos training, they are so clever. If I had my time over I would train as a dog handler either for Police or customs.

I'm not on my phone, but this of my dog is so me, I have a perma resting bitch face/angry scowl look.
A black dog staring intently at the camera. She has a furrowed brow. One ear is raised the other cocked.

It is. We love our air fryer. We probably have more gadgets tham most boats. We also have an instant pot, a rice cooker a bread maker and a mini blender. Our hob is a 2 ring induction designed for campervans.

We got rid of our oven as we are not keen on using gas. The bottle always runs out mid cooking and often when it is raining. We have so much solar now we are all electric for cooking.

Air fryer cheese on toast worked a treat. Air fryer will also be used for tea. Making crispy tofu, not tried doing it in the air fryer before. Hope it works as having to stand by a pan and turn cubes is a dull task.

Going to make cheese on toast for lunch. Going to try doing it in the air fryer. Not got much choice really as we do not have an oven or a grill.

Although...if we did win £££ then a rural middle of nowhere house might tempt us back to land. It would have to be totally rural though. No public footpaths, no houses overlooking.

We have decided, if we win loads a money, we are getting 2 small boats, one will be bed, bath, office/craft room and take your shoes off. The other boot room, loo and a big kitchen/living. 1/2

Are they wearing as true Scotsmen? Or are they keeping themselves covered.

That sounds about right. It is sweet. I prefer coleslaw with an oil/vinegar dressing.

Pin suggested to me 'how to improve a stall at a craft market'. Sure their suggestions would be more sensible than mine. I was going to go full market trader & yell come look at my *item* fiver each or 3 for a tenner. I can just see the looks on the other traders faces. They would think I was ferral

Just looked at the tv guide for tonight. What a load of rubbish is on. Nothing I want to watch, but then there seems to be less and less I want to watch as time goes by.

Just saw a recipe for copycat KFC coleslaw. Why would you want to replicate that slop, it is revolting.

We have had the diesel heating on twice. Needed to make sure it still worked. We have a couple of little electric portable heaters that we use if the solar is good. Hope you are enjoying your weekend too.

Heating is on, we are still in bed doing our puzzles. Slow start to the day.

Went to watch todays 4 in a bed and the whole weeks episodes have been removed. Did anyone watch live. I do not know why it has suddenly disappeared.

After the rubbish Christmas meal we bought last year I am starting to think we should make our own. The menus I have looked at are either for 4, expensive or have elements I/we do not eat.

You know its windy when your pots start clanking on the wall. We have a rail in the kitchen for small pots and utensils, things that hang on it clank about when we rock.

What is that, I can't quite hear you.

It is very windy this morning. Looked at the forecast and it said up to 36 mph later. Not leaving the boat unless I have to.

The heating has been on for the first time this season. It still works and it is toasty.

That looks delicious. Is chef available for hire?

Just saw a pin about something called a 'Grinder Salad'. My head did not automatically go to iceberg lettuce.

Loads of sirens here. It is very unusual to hear them.

Watching a police thing. Guy on a train realised passenger in front is watching kiddy porn. I do not think I could have held back. I know I would put them so they got a good kicking before police got there.

Ugh. I keep getting ads for reactive dog training and stop drinking! Better than the stairlift and mens underpants I get else where.

We have the same issue. I am in an oodie, Tim is in a t-shirt. I thought us women who are *ahem* a certain age were supposed to be boiling all the time.

Looking so smart. We want to get a pram cover, just need to go to chat to the guy on the opposite side of the marina to us as he fits them.

Looks fabulous. Where did you launch and does she have a name?
210
Naturally Narrow @naturallynarrow.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
Why are old people so bloody loud. Neighbours are outside yapping. It is like they want the whole marina to know their business.If you are a bit deaf either learn to sign or get hearing aids. No need to shout that you need to go to the bin.

If you shaved Simba they would probably look the same size. Jess is Am staff x GSD and 38kg, I still do not think of her as big. We have a guy here with a Great Dane and a few GSD owners. You'd think us boat owners would choose small breeds.

Good news for Jess, no cancer markers. But, they still do not know why her abdomen is so swollen. She is going to have some medicine to try and get that down and then they can re-examine her.

It is hard, but she is struggling. so much to climb stairs, we bought some more stairs so it is not so steep. Hoping the painkillers make it easier for her. I am ok if we have to say goodbye as I do not want her to suffer.

I did look and it appears not available, shame as it was great. It is on youtube, but seemingly only in Welsh. Wonder why they pulled it already.

that is a shame, have you tried s4c rather than iplayer? we did not watch the series that long ago.

Have you watched www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p... it is subtitled and we loved how passionate the guests were about food.

Time to catch up on below deck. I feel so sorry for Ben this season. Horrid crew messing with his already fragile head. Hope he comes out of it ok.

Thank you. We are kind of ok, our neighbour just had to have her GSD pts as it has spleen cancer and was in pain. That is one of the cancers the vet thought Jess might have. We just want her to be comfortable. I do not want her to struggle.

Update on Jess. Most things ruled out. Looking most like cancer. Vet said if it is then treating it might not be in her interest as the quality of life during & after treatment could be poor. She has some pills that will make her wee more and they are also a painkiller. Test results prob. Friday
