28 July 2013 London Rain

We are staying on a larger boat in the same dock.  We really like(d) this boat.  It has two bedrooms, even though we share a bed, a larger full bathroom, a kitchen with a larger fridge.  It's just nicer all around.  The problem was the internet.  It was just so darn intermittent, that it was more like:
"I can't get onli..." "What the He..." "Why won't my email wor..." "OH MY GO...!!!" "I'm about to go posta...."
Then, as if magically, my internet returned.  

It was cloudy, but oh, so nice.  It started to drizzle, but nothing too serious, so I only closed a couple of windows.  Then it started raining heavier so I closed all the windows, but that didn't seem to stop the rain from coming in.  Nope, EVERY SINGLE ROOM ON THE BOAT WAS LEAKING!!!  I went to sleep with all my things in plastic bags, just hoping nothing would be ruined.  The rain had stopped before I fell asleep, and didn't return.  Phew.  

When I woke up this morning I emailed my contact for the boat, and decided to ride it out.  If it doesn't rain again all will be fine.  If it does, I'm outta here.  
We spent yesterday and today doing nothing at all.  Just relaxing.  After all that running around in York, a break was called for.

Sorry, no pictures.  I could show you a picture of the large bowl full of water, that I placed in the bedroom, so the carpet wouldn't get soaked, but  I don't want to.
