Thanks to my job, in about 2 weeks, I will be living in #England full-time for a spell. If anyone has any advice, do's & don'ts, tips & tricks, etc. for me (especially as an American), please let me know. Not to get too specific, I'll be living in the #Midlands area (I believe) Thanks!

Our boat has a lot of oak finishing.
Oak is hardwood, and its machine-cut sharp edges don't go dull the way the edges of softwood do.
I regularly scrape the skin off my hands when reaching for T-shirts, socks, undies, and pants.
So my everloving husband has wrapped everything in plastic and is using a sander to take the edges off. â¤ī¸

Something got caught on the propeller.
We stopped. I switched off the engine, opened the engine bay, unscrewed the weedhatch, and then stuck my arm through the rectangular opening, into the murky water up to my bicep, to feel for debris around the propeller and driveshaft.
It was a heavy plastic bag.
Doing this, I always think of the vets in All Creatures Great & Small, with their arm up some cow. #eww!

The Case locks were heavy. We went up, got a pump-out, then went down again. I did all the winding and gates both ways, lost my breath at the last gate on the way down.
We're waiting around for another service visit. Once it's booked, they won't allow a change of address, so we have to be back at the same canalside grocery by Wednesday evening. We're using their postcode. :blobcatwinktongue:

You've been in tidal water? Rust! đŽ
We just crossed over the River Avon. Joining from the right is the River Leam. This is at the east side of Warwick. The Avon generally flows south-southwest to join the much larger River Severn, where we were last summer.
Today we're heading to a marina on the far side of Warwick for a pump-out.
