Fruits of Das Bot Labour

Just had this from das captain as he is putting on layer number two out of five coats of varnish!

Looking good for first coat so with five she is just going to look swooper!

It's Raining, It's Pouring...

The artic conditions continue here but touch wood we have missed out thus far on a dumping of the white stuff. Not so lucky elsewhere across the south of blighty.

Torrential rain again overnight which is still coming down this morning but hurrah no snow.

Hopefully then it, ll be business as usual @ work and no more chaos than normal but more importantly it's business as usual on the bot work front this weekend.

The other 4 coats of varnish will get on and das captain can heave a huge sigh of relief and think job done!

We sooo need our holiday and even if it's blowing a hooley I don't care...being back on board RedSnapper is r n r in itself.

Happy 6th Anniversary To Us!

Not at home today as am away with work.  Can,t believe that its six yrs ago that we got hitched....................happy anniversary das captain to us!

Marathon Bot Session

You know that feeling when it all comes together..yesterday das captain had one of those days.

After a few missed weekends and being hammered by the weather he set off like a man on a mission.

I was doubtful he could start to varnish, fearing it would be too cold but no, after finishing the sanding and sorting out the dust pit that had gathered he was off and didn't stop until the job was done. Layer one done, only another five to do!

A very late finish indeed, knackered but chuffed he wendered his way home.

The finishing line is in sight now on the interior.

Lets hope the Siberian weather stays well away so we can start to bottom paint and polish.

Phew......

A flurry was followed by a heavy flurry and then it warmed up and down came the rain @ the top of the mountain.

Phew.....couldn't face the mayhem that would have followed @ work as every man and their dog plus high heels ventured put onto the pack ice!

Have a busy wk ahead , Bristol, Taunton and then back to good old Exeter.

On das bot front, work has recommended after the winter wonderland deluge yesterday.

As for me I,m off to work!

It's.......Snowing!

It could get very festive today @ the top of the mountain. It's been absolutely freezing the last few days and we have woken up to snowflakes dropping this morning. Siberia is tropical in comparison to here.
Here,s hoping it's just a small flurry otherwise the general carnage that will follow is just not fun.
