Friday 29 April Royal Wedding Day

You can't be British and not be interested in the Bill and Kate nuptials taking place in London today. Mike and Ann on Callisto have a TV and have invited us over to watch the proceedings. I spent the morning helping with fittings and design decisions on the bimini and the latter part of the afternoon preparing our contribution for a pick and ponder pot luck repast.

We should have been at Callisto at 6 o'clock but we were still on board helping a French boat to raft up alongside us so no time for a leisurely walk. It was Billy Whiz shower, throw food and drinks into the bags and fly over to the marina on the other side of the river. It was a fun thing to do and while I assumed we weren't that bothered we were rapt at the images on the screen and didn't leave until gone 11 o'clock. How wild we are.
Trifle & beer for boat party
Riding back along an unlit path beside the water was a thrill. Would I stay on the path or hit a stick and wobble into the water? I can climb out but it would be a disaster to loose my bike. However no inclement incidents and we arrived home safely.
