20th November update

Just a short video about some changes made to the boat.

I’ve fitted these now.

They’ve been on for a few weeks.

The boat has warmed up.

If I take it in fuel terms, I’ve used about 40% of the fuels I would usually use since fitting these devices.

That’s about 50% fuels savings in the week.

Well worth the £12.

I don’t wake up with a cold head now!

I really need this for the forthcoming cold winter.

Whilton -> Braunston

I’ve been here two weeks, but only just moved onto my ‘winter moorings’ today.

It doesn’t look to great at the moment, but the boat in front is moving along, so I’ll get his spot.

It’s brighter, with a view through the trees at Braunston Church.

Braunston vs Devizes

Devizes, where I winter moored last year, was right in the middle of a town.

This is on the outskirts of a village, along with one other person. In Devizes, there were at least 5 others.

Braunston is a historic village. Although I’ve not researched the level of this, architecture points to the fact that there was a diverse and specialised workforce, mostly supported by the canal. Continue reading “Whilton -> Braunston”

Dodford -> Whilton

Skipping Muscott, made my way to Whilton, a short distance away from the marina.

As always, I’ve tried to moor in the sun.

I like to wake up in the morning and see as much sunshine as possible.
Same goes throughout the day.
As well as that, it keeps the solar charging :)

Weedon -> Dodford

Or nr. Dodford.

It’s a pleasant spot.

I’ve been here over a week, but because my phone’s not been working, I’ve not been taking pictures.

So here we are.

Home for a week.

Postal service have been stealing my sim cards, as well as all my other mail.

They’ve had over 5 items off me.

Some of them of value.

I’m going to be reporting them to the Police.

Astra h 1.8i 16v sri chip

Was doing a search last night. I was looking into getting a new ‘chip’ fitted to my new Astra sri.

Here’s research I did using two of the top search engines.

Duck duck go

I’d turned up a few results on duck-duck-go. Looked like this:

As you can see, there’s about 6 results there that match my search phrase.

Google search results

Now check the Google results. Continue reading “Google index is now spam”
