Grey skies, much cooler and windy, heavy rain showers later. Mike and Olly went to Marjorie’s to measure the trolley. They spoke to Marjorie who said it would be Saturday when the tjalk goes back in the water. So that put paid to our plans of hiring a pressure washer on Friday (the hire shop is closed all weekend) as we don’t know if the trolley will definitely be ours on Monday 30th. Olly wanted some paraffin for their oil lamps so they went into Antoing to get some. He paid 5€ for a litre bottle, ouch! While Mike was out I got on with the chores then set up the laptop on the Internet. Bouygues would only get GPRS without the outdoor antenna; on the roof if was 5 bars on EDGE but wouldn’t load Yahoo e-mails until I moved the antenna to the edge of the roof. I checked my e-mails. Mike put the whip aerial on top of the chimney where it just got 3G. Not long after it started to rain so Mike fetched in the WiFi antenna and also the whip aerial, neither of which are waterproof.
