Friday 27th April

Today was very hectic. Firstly we had to transport eight bottles of gas and a load of food for the Observatory shop. Having driven this up to the Observatory from the boat, and unloaded and unpacked the lot, we had to then dash back down to the slipway to unload 400 litres of heating oil before a thunderstorm broke. This was very exhausting but at least we'll be fed and warm for a few months!
