1 More Aboard.....


Spent another day in London. Had a good look at the Borough Market then spent time just wandering and tubeing  around.

It was a day that ended in Y and  I'm not sure  if that had anything to do with things but just like our last visit 5 days before by 11am the whole place is crowded...




Had a look around Trafalgar Square...
 



This rooster is 15ft high and the creation of German sculptor Katharina Fritsch. Called Hahn/Cock it is a lighter side of the British defeat of France at Waterloo in 1805....


Joined the "In Crowd" and  got pushed from side to side down Oxford and Regent streets....




If you can afford to shop in either street then that's where you buy a stroller for your dog...
Even had the "alive"model"....


Around Trafalgar Square all types of street performers push their luck....

But none could match the cash in this Dudes bin..




C'mon all you wise guys and leave a comment below on how he stays suspended off the ground. He was there 1.5 hrs that we saw. He was putting his right arm on peoples heads that stood close for a photo and also crossed his legs and tilted forward about 30-40 degrees.

Iv'e got my it worked out, how about You???



 


The  Albert Hall..  only entered the foyer....



The building next  door had a Sexual entry way....

 



Talking about sex appeal.....

 


You know what it's like.. left you r country of residence and couldn't take your favourite beer in any quantity....  and like you'd just love a couple of them..

Well I found it.....






Tui beer stubbies, the genuine ready to drink,once  chilled down, article....

At two pound eighty pence a bottle it's still warm  on the shelve.......




 

Tait arrived for his week aboard courtesy of a ride from London with mates Dan and Callie......




Tait, Pam, Dan, ( who has had parts in neighbours and winners and losers), Callie and Leonie ....


So we planned to travel 3-4 miles with our new crew then Dan would push bike back to retrieve their car...   Worked out a treat...

If you join a crew you gotta do your apprenticeship, like start at the bottom...

 




Stage 1.... watch someone else do the work..


 


Stage 2... just hold the rope...




 
Stage 3...  Geeezzeeeesss  got this canal life sorted real quick......




Stage 4...  there's no more steps after Captain...

 
 

We moored then Dan biked back.. nice sunny day so we adjourned 30 metres along to the pub and drank and thought about Dan biking...




The Two Boats quieter as we passed  on a Monday morning...



Then further along the canal....
 




Theyv'e tried real hard on the out door setting here...


 
Going up a double lock we came across Elly and Carol on the winlass's and Mick and Barry waiting to enter the lock...



 


A quick hello as we passed, maybe a chance for a beer next time.... Yeah Na Yeah Mate....


Todays "Catastrophy" ......




Started off as a narrow boat then decided the centre section should be a Benetau yatch, then turned the top into a freak'n market garden...


A couple of tow path dog shots...


 
Very disobedient these two... trouble getting them to obey that so hard "Sit" command  for a photo...




The dog on the right is 15 yrs old...

Onto the Oxford canal now for a scenic stress free cruise........ 
Wait a minute,  What was that??  some DICK just side swipped our moored boat while passing an oncoming boat.....  Slow Down Village Idiot......
