Smile, Pete

Happens to us all, I guess - PS has put his boat up for sale as he’s beginning to find it’s getting a bit beyond him. A sad thing for him but I guess it’s good that he acknowledges it and doesn’t try and keep it in the water or yard slowly deteriorating away as some do. 
I went off and started on some exterior woodwork in a typically bodgy manner. I’m not putting four coats of varnish on when a lick of Woodskin will see it all right for another season. And then I went round and whistled Pete up and we sat and blethered away over a cup of tea. That’s what he really comes down for these days so it was good to indulge him. Or was he indulging me? Cripes. Never thought of that.
