Busy few days.  Sailed to Lymington last weekend, met up with Dick and Judith.  Good fun.  Weather sunny but cold.  It was supposed to be a shakedown sail and fortunately there were no issued to worry about.  Have spent most of this week gradually getting things ready for the holiday.  As there have been significant road works in Newport, it has meant that I couldn't get to the swimming pool or the Priory, so I've had to  stay at home and catch up on things.

My knees are gradually feeling a bit better, although they still hurt a little, especially if I do a particularly long walk.  On the other hand, I do need to do that regularly as I am not swimming.

Haven't been painting much, but I have been doing a sketch every day for "Pleinapril".  They have been a bit scrappy, but I have done them.

We are hoping to get away next Thursday or Friday, but the weather keeps changing so we are keeping an eye on things.
