The Kipper hs been confined to barracks because the man has arrived to mend the floor in the bathroom following a leak last year: not nearly as glamorous as prepareing to go to the Med for the summer. If you can believe it, he is incredibly grumpy about having to stay home for the day. He hasn't been idle though, he has cut out the ply-board that will be covered with vinyl and will shortly be used to fix the headlining problem. The board we put up in the heads a couple of weeks ago is holding fast and so, enthused by this success he has been out and purchased the ply-board and vinyl to start sorting out the headlining in the aft cabin. We plan to be at Petra on Sunday (weather permitting) to fit said boards and also to begin cleaning and polishing the hull. I will be taking along my handy platform (B&Q - about £70 of my money well spent cos I'm short and can't reach anything). I will smugly watch as The Kipper balances on the ladder trying to hold on and keep his balance whilst at the same time cleaning the hull. Bobbie D has hinted that he might come along to help on Sunday.
The only other point of note is that the scheduled crew meeting has been moved to the 19th February because Bobbie D could no longer make the 16th. No word yet from Steve E who has just returned from a week skiing in France.
