Somnambulation. From Saturday's cruise. Pet hate 1. Graffiti on 200 year old brick bridges almost impossible to remove. Pet hate 2. CRT so out of touch that they don't notice it as soon as it happens. Grrrrr! Hang the sods from the parapet with a toothbrush and graffiti remover!

Somnambulation. The church warden, in a soft quiet voice tells me that 'it was customary for stone masons to carve caricatures of living people when building churches'... I don't think I would have wanted to live in the village back then...

Somnambulation. Little known fact: Every lock on the canal network has its own sun-dial so that bargees can always keep up with the time. For many non-boaters encountering a lock is like stepping back in time...
