Cool! The playlist currently going on Jim's computer is one that includes the New World Symphony and I just looked up the lyrics for the "folk song" I grew up singing to one part of it. https://www.lyrics.com/lyric/23030104/Peace+[Deluxe+Edition]/Going+Home+(based+on+the+Largo+from+Dvorák's+New+World+Symphony)+[*]
Morning!
I just realised seeing Lorraine's message I still haven't reinstalled skype...another thing still to do.
@Terre, the New World Symphony has always been one of my favourites.

lol...I find this funny as we have restrictions imposed when there is a drought situation and the dams get below a certain level. I suppose in England they don't have quite the same storage capacity but it just seems weird that it only took 10 days!

Howdy, howdy!
Had a nice talk with Seliah last night and a nice chat with Miss B, lovely to catch up I'll be ashore again for at least ten days from July 23 so if anyone wants a natter I'll start Skype!
Bit bleak here today. I turned off the heater at 2am as was afraid the diesel would run out but when I refuelled today was surprised to see more in the tank than expected. So my freezing the boat was unnecessary
, brrrrr! We are warming up nicely now.
There's a boat just arrived in Opua that's so loud I can here its engine from way up here. It's got a load of young folk on board who had such a horrible trip (five weeks!!) over from Brisbane that most are leaving the ship here. I'm hoping the young Floridian I had visiting the boat Friday will change her mind about joining the crew up to Fiji. The skipper sounds like a complete numpty. Refuses to have a radio on board so does not do any skeds while on passage causing Search and Rescue to put out bulletins (Friday) and planes (2007). Not someone I want anyone going to sea with. Sadly the boat is registered in Vanuatu which has much laxer laws than here...if it was NZ registered it wouldn't be allowed to leave port. It's here for at least two weeks undergoing repairs so fingers crossed she and the remaining crew will change their minds about going north.

I usually have Skype open, assuming I remember to start it up, so you'll know where to find me.Had a nice talk with Seliah last night and a nice chat with Miss B, lovely to catch up

I think my wheelhouse is often warmer than a lot of houses but only because the fire is heating a space a little bit bigger than most house's toilets If I go fore or aft the temp drops considerably. And I'm back to wearing my long woolly cardy, I had the cockpit doors open to air the saloon and it got cooler up here. Back doors are now shut, blow the fresh air!

My fire is at its very lowest setting and I generally don't turn it up. That's when I'll start putting on layers and snuggling under a rug. If I keep it on low I can run it 24/7 for about $40 a week. I only turn it off if it's a super sunny day with no wind. And even then I've been fooled...turned it off and the sun's gone and I've got cold. So, summer dresses and a fire
I'm so envious of you all. The only reason I'm freezing is because of the AC. At midnight, it's still 84F and 72% humidity, with the barest whisper of a breeze.
This is perfect weather for spending at the Oregon Coast, where it's 59% and only 9 pm. It won't get out of the 60s all week there.

Stay warm Dreamer!
@Lorraine we try and keep the heater low(ducted heating) as it uses less electricity. During winter the solar panels don't bring in as much power...IIRC my husband said that we get about 50% of our needs during the day covered. During summer it pretty much covers most of what we use with less than 10% coming off the grid. I will turn it up higher than my husband as he doesn't feel the cold as much as I do.
@Satira Capriccio I've been reading some detective type novels about the Oregon Coast it sounds fairly cold but with not a lot of snow in the books I've read.

Early holiday today! A 48 inch water main broke in the wee hours of the morning at an intersection next to where I work. Because of the flooding, there is no power in my building. This is the next intersection over from the break, and the street I cross from the parking garage to where I work.
Needless to say, we're closed today, and until further notice. Fortunately, a coworker called me to tell me we're closed. While my boss did send out a text, I so rarely get texts that I wouldn't have checked, and I wouldn't have known until I hit the street closures.
