released from Hospital and on the move again

My safe and pleasant mooring whilst Geoffrey was being tended to in St Peters Hospital

My daily views

 Geoff kept hoping they would let him out daily but he was still there on Sunday night.   Meanwhile I had a great day on Sunday.  Son-in-law Dave and his mum and grandaughter came out to visit.  Tony Fletcher also called in.  We all took the ferry across to Weybridge and had an excellent lunch in the Minnow pub.   The original plan had been to go to the pub on our side, Thmames Court but we were disappointed when we reached there to find it shut due to staff shortages.   Still the ferry was a pleasant 4 minute ride which Kensa enjoyed, albeit somewhat expensive at £5 return!

Most of Monday was spent waiting to hear if Geoff could escape.  He eventually made it back to Petroc about 6pm.  He was loaded up with yet more pills and the propect of 2 outpatient appointments.  It appears that he had PAF (Pesistant Atrial Fibrillation and a small heart attack with minimal damage.    So could have been a lot worse.   Treatment was excellent, he reports, but the hospital very understaffed.

Tuesday was declared a rest day to regroup and consider next plan....no no must not plan.....

I had previously called Spelthorne Council and explained why we were overstaying on the mooring and they were great.   I could stay as long as I liked....within reason........

Today  Wednesday Geoff couldnt wait to be off!!!  We needed to top up with water and with the modification that has been done to seemingly all the water taps on the Thames, it is an exceedingly slow process.   We stopped before the first lock of the day at Chertsey but had to give up after an hour and a half.   Still not a full tank.  

Windsor here we come

Last lock of the day and getting quite busy now.

Boats everywhere when we neared Windsor.   Little boats, trip boats, just every sort.   We headed for the island where we have previously moored and initially thought we were out of luck but someone was looking after us as there was one place right on the end and its ideal.

The original idea was to have a rest day tomorrow and continue up river on Friday but we feel we are so lucky to find a place here and it is bank holiday weekend so we shall stay for the weekend.

So a much longer day than needed really but now we can relax
