I like Hammocks.

[No Idea]

Decided that sailing the boat with that hole in it wasnt very smart.

Actually, the kids crying and saying I would kill myself if I tried sailing it like that is what stopped me.

The kids were adamant I couldnt just wrap duct tape round it either.

I was happy about that as they ended up showing me how to do it by er.... doing it for me.

 

[No Idea]

I was a bit worried about this hole as it was below the waterline and in a place that takes a lot of loading.

My biggest decided he would do it.

It seems you should carefully check the extent of the damage.

Er.....with an angle grinder. His choice not mine.

 

[No Idea]

You then carefully trim a 1ft by 1 ft square of hardboard......

I was starting to worry at this stage.

 

[No Idea]

He carefully drew round where he wanted to cut it

then he put a cable tie in the middle through two holes

 

[No Idea]

He shoved it in, held it up with the cable tie and drilled holes round the edge for these nice wood screws.

Do you ever have those moments, when you stand there, usually on one leg, with one finger raised, trying to work out how to explain to someone that they seem to have missed the obvious.....

Fixing a boat with hardboard and wood screws.....Er......

 

[No Idea]

He said he had to use wood screws and hardboard as there was a sewage pipe in the way

Im standing there...but....but he walked off before I could utter "Its a bleedin dinghy and hasnt got a door let alone a toilet behind it!

 

[No Idea]

I sort of hid and did my muttering.

It really was my fault for sort of pushing him into showing me how and now I was pretty much stuck.

 

[No Idea]

Decided the best thing I could do was wait and see what happened when we next launched.

So I er......

 

[No Idea]

I feel like Ive been walked on by a sumo.

Tommorow.....

 

[No Idea]

Slept for 12 hrs. Yesterday was an interesting day.

 

[No Idea]

Ah...

It might float.

Fibreglass....

Screws out

I think he might want to work on smooth, though

ahhh...

Angle grinder.

WHy didnt I think of that.

Its about as smooth as sandpaper, but I think it might float.

Thick coat of dulux...

 

[No Idea]

Decided I really didnt want to go boating for a while.

It is a bit too exciting sometimes.

Soooo.......

 

[No Idea]

Bikes

 

[No Idea]

Hmmm.....Trees

Thats close enought with those poxy bikes.

Bliss....

 

[No Idea]

The kids wanted to spend some time riding their bikes again.

I wanted to go hammocking

Took them to the park so we could all be happy.

Ive got myself a little telescope so I can watch the boats while I lie here eating toasted cheese and tomato sandwiches with a bottle of Norfolk punch (was my last one as it seems they have stopped making it)

We were going to spend the night, but my little one managed to get his hammock tangled around the back wheel of his bike and destroyed it.

I slept happily in my hammock in the garden.

 

[No Idea]

My little one decided to make himself a polytarp hammock like the ones I had told him about.

He found the middle of this paracord and tied a knot.

He chomped through it.

He did the ends to stop it fraying with my kitchen blowlamp.

He carefully marked every 10 cms along the edges of the tarp.

He did tell me why, but I didnt understand.

Apparently, having the tape upside down helps too.

I got volunteered into helping with the folding

 

[No Idea]

Carefully testing his knots

Hes in.

He farted.

He desperately wanted me to try it.

This was the moment when the paracord gave up.

He decided he loves that hammock.

... even though he had to rebuild one end.

How come I am always the one that ends up with the dents?

On second thoughts, dont answer that.

 

[No Idea]

He told everyone Im not very good at "Bouncing"

 

[Sanji]

He desperately wanted me to try it.

This was the moment when the paracord gave up.

lol i like that pic, made me giggle with your facial expression (Oh S**T Face lol) also looks like your right eye, is about to pop out its socket.

 

[No Idea]

Hi Sanji

Thats why I am so camera shy.

They always manage to take horrible pics of me.
