My bird spotting skills have been on fire the last couple of days!
I saw 5 kingfishers yesterday! Only two today! However in total it more than doubles the number of kingfishers I seen , ever!  They are so gorgeous.  Not sure that everyone else was quite as excited about it as me, but hey ho, I am happy to geek all by self!  TO be fair to them, mostly it was me running in going, ooh ooh did you see that kingfisher, oh its gone now, ooh there he is, oh no he's gone now!  They believed me in the end.

We moored in Mapledurham last night, in a lovely spot, very pretty:

Oh I was trying to upload some pics then but connection is pop here!  hey ho will have to wait until tomorrow.  I keep rhyming without realising recently, perhaps there is a poet in my bursting to get out!. Yeah maybe not.

Looking forward to a pint later, we are moored outside a hotel so would be rude not to!

just none cornettos don't give it to me tra la la.

We have just moored up outside an ice cream van in Marlow.  however it is not acceptable to be holding an ice cream in the wind, drizzle and cloud.  I popped out of my kitchen cave onto the neighbouring bench and enjoyed a cuppa and one of my gluten free mini victoria sponges, which were quite tasty!

Wishing today that I was on holibobs in the sun relaxed and happy.

We are off to Henley tomorrow, Pangbourne Tuesday, Shillingford on Wednesday, Abingdon on Thursday and into Oxford for Friday.
If anyone is near give me a yell, would be good to see a friendly face.

Having the wobbles about the winter job, not sure whether to go to interview.  Hmm really don't know. WIll think about it again tomorrow.

Need a wee and to get the Coq au Vin on.

Laters gaters (I didn't really say that, I was taken over temporarily!

Queenie

So we are still in Windsor.  Just Rosie on the boat today.  Kat is out with a friend and James on his way back from home.  Had a good morning of cleaning, now trying to get some Rosie bits done before guests descend on us tomorrow.  Although, once they arrive I dissapear off for my day off with the gorgeous Emsy, yey!
Sitting with all the windows and covers open on the gorgeous day over looking the park, very pleasant indeed.  I may even improve it later with a beer, although will need to go purchase crisps to make it!

Sunset swans last evening
These park goers are killing me with the smell of barbies!  Bring me cheeseburger!

The Big Shmoke

Some pics from last weekend in Little Venice.
My the boatie looks big!
Had a walk down the stretch through LV and down the Paddington Basin all the way until I ended up on Edgware Road.  It is lovely down there and done nicely with some quirkyness and nice looking bars and foodness.  This cool bridge appealed to my randomness.

Elves and Barnets

Ello all.
I am starting to feel a bit more like Rosie again.  Apologies for the low posts.
We have a quiet no guest week so beetled our way up to Windsor quick smart and now have the rest of the week to ourselves.  It is perfect, chilled out and quiet.  We vowed to do no cooking this week, so have had, packet pasta, jacket potatoes but bangers and mash tonight, so had to peel and chop potatoes which is certainly cooking!!

Many highlights today!!
1. with a capital O, is the incredibly gorgeous diver who was at Old Windsor lock this afternoon.  Dear lordy of all things pure was he sex on legs.  Couldn't stop looking at him!  Just gorgeous.  Tried to keep talking to him as long as possible, but alas eventually had to actually do my job and cast off to move out of the lock!! mmmmm yummy!
2.  Getting and interview for a winter job, in Lapland no less.  I decided not to tell anyone in case I jinxed it, as so excited bout it but worried about the interview full of presentations.  However the excitement meant I couldn't keep it to myself!!
3.  Booking a hair appointment!  A new me is a coming.  Going for the big chop and colour change!!  Yey.  no more dull Rosie, time to be me in the hair department!

Chipoloatas are very enjoyable.

P.s Have pics I wanna post, will upload tomorrow! Some good london ones.

Saturday lonesomeness

I am on the boat all on me tod.  it is weird, Not sure good weird 
I got some nice dips and some beer, got my comfy troosers on and about to watch friends, still wish someone was here to share my choccies and wine with though.  I think I had enough time doing that by myself.

So here I am in Little Venice, the world is bustling around me and I am still as.  So much going on, so much noise fun and laughter outside.  They do say careful what you wish for, well it's so true.  I thought some me time would be grand, turns out, tisn't!  Want some company and some hugs.

Hey ho.  We are off o our way tomorrow and up onto the Thames.  Winding our way to Windsor although not so winding, as we ahve no guests we can beetled our way up quick smart and have a couple of quiet days when we get there.  Hurray! t hink I may have the big hair chop!

Had a lovely walk today along the canal through Paddington and ended up in Edgware Road, gorgeous stretch and done up really nicely.  Really like it here.

Off to carry on my lonely Sat night with my DVD style Friends!

Rubbish

I yes I know I have been pantsorama.  Many reasons why, RD has been so quiet.
I will have time tomorrow and will enthral you with it all then.

But for now, I am a year older, my crew mate is 3 fingers down and my energy is non existent.

Night night for now.
