| Olek took this photo - it is a reverse selfie because we needed the flash to go off. It was still dark and we were having a cuddle in Grammy and Grandad's bed in the boat. |
We have done a lot of boating today and we
have done six locks – 3 down and 3 back up. We are back where we were last night,
but we are facing the other way.
 |
| We liked this house by the river. |
 |
| Olek is helping a man go through the lock. |

| I have to wear a lifejacket when I am onboard. |

| Grammy says this is the remains of the old Newark Priory. |
Grammy was driving the boat into the trees
by accident and we all had to duck to escape the branches. There were lots of
leaves on the deck after that.
When we stopped this afternoon, I hammered in the mooring pins.
Olek and me
had time trials running from the back of the boat to the bridge.
Then I went back outside and then I got stung by a wasp!!! It hurt lots and I cried very loudly. It was very, very painful.
Grandad cuddled me and Grammy put some
vinegar on a paper towel for me to hold on it. And it slowly stopped hurting. I
felt better when I watched the DVD of Shaun the Sheep.
I also have a small cut but it doesn’t need
a plaster.
Dad is coming to stay the night with us tonight
and we are having cheese tart and salad for dinner.

Another great blog writer in the family - great job!!
Sung by a wasp - that sounds nasty. Hope it is all better now.
Fancy Grammy allowing the little ones to be attacked by by a wild animal (wasp) and then pour vinegar all over the child. What were you thinking Grammy, to eat the poor child.

How precious is this? Fabulous, I love guest writers. So glad the weather is (mostly) dry for you all to enjoy yourselves,

Great blog Karol, keep it up.
I am beginning to think writing is in the genes ... The wasp sting certainly provoked a VERY loud response, but the vinegar worked a treat. Good thing I had it onboard!
Cheers, M
Les darling, you should know by now that I would only be the kindest, gentlest person in the world with the grandson! I'm not sure how the wasp fared but when we found one on deck yesterday it was dispatched forthwith into the river in the interests of the sins of the fathers being visited on the sons ...
Karol's all better now, none the worse for the event, but the roar at the time was galvanising!

Hi Lisa,
Both of the boys did well in their writing. They are both excellent communicators and have a good vocabulary which helps ... I don't think it is a negative that both grandparents are ex-teachers either, by the way! They were both initially reluctant (what can I write about???) but rose to the challenge quite well we thought, and it was lovely for their mum and dad to see.
The weather was pretty good overall - quite lovely days and the mornings weren't too cold. Didn't get the chance to try out the Morso Squirrel Stove on board to see if we want one on Waka Huia, dammit.
Cheers, M
