MFV BF494 'Pansy', an old Motor Fifie Conversion

Finally a rain and snow free day - yup, had a fair bit of the white stuff already, so made the most of it and had a day doing boaty stuff. Was hoping to get her turned around today but no-one about to lend a hand so that'll have to keep for next time. Thought I'd paint the last bit of the rubbing strake.... so flipping cold it was like painting with treacle, so after a very thick coat of primer, gave up on that. Suspect the painting window has been and gone for this year, unless there's some wierd freak of dry warmish weather

So what else to do? Time to maybe make a start inside if the weather is not up to much outside. Now, as you approach the boat on the pontoon, she's doesn't look that bad now on the outside, almost normal even. But look inside and it's a scene of evil vileness. Black, dirty and festering on the inside, ready to trip you you up and bestow pain upon you. So in that respect pretty much the same as all the members (I choose that word carefully) supposedly representing us normal folk in westminster

Harriet Harman did make me smile this week though as she announced "it's not part of Labour's politics for somebody to be telling lies to get themselves elected"

Of course it isn't Harriet, they have to wait till they are elected to start doing that
