Hot and sunny. More of the same. Mike re-welded the loop he had added to the bows as Olly had spotted it and noticed the welding wasn’t up to Mike’s usual standard! Francis came with the injectors he’d tested and refurbished. I finished brushing the port side and Mike quickly caught up as above waterline was much easier to do. (No it isn’t. Ed). Anne made us lunch. After lunch we painted the starboard side and were going to keep going and do the port side too but we were both so tired we were tripping over matchsticks so we gave up. Anne, true to her word had donned her “Chernobyl” suit, breathing mask and goggles and scraped the last of the stinky mussels off the bottom of the boat – she also volunteered to paint the bottom with a roller, much to our surprise. She invited us round to dinner, roast pork. We had a lovely meal. Anne and Olly's friend Paul arrived. There was an accordion concert on in Tournai which both Anne and Olly really wanted to go and see as it only occurs every few years and is funny, but both were too tired although Paul said he would take them and bring them back and we said they should go as could go back to our boat. Paul went after making arrangements for more practise next day and us promising to go to see the concert at the Maison Romaine in Tournai on Sunday afternoon. Back home just after ten.
