Nice sunny morning, showery late afternoon and into the evening. My back was much better so we did some shopping at Cora in La Louviére by car, taking Mum with us. The centre commercial was a large one and Cora seemed to stock everything you could wish of a hypermarket. Mum had never been in such large shop and was enthralled by the amount of stuff under one roof, especially the cookery dept (she bought herself a wire gismo (ecumoire) for getting fried food - other than chips which go in a basket - out of the chip pan). Back on the boat While I put stuff away Mum made sandwiches for her and Mike using some nice crusty buns. I caught up with four episodes of Corrie that I’d missed due to having a bad back. Mike spotted a red hulled tjalk going past which had just hooted. It was Wim from Lokeren, so he had a quick chat on Marine VHF as he wanted to know how Olly was (back in the UK due to a sudden illness). He said we were welcome anytime to moor again at Lokeren. Mike did engine room jobs (re-routing the diesel spill rail) and Mum had a well deserved snooze. We watched more about the riots in the UK and floods in Scotland on TV.
