We set off early through Sonning lock working it manually before the locky came on duty.
Next stop was Tescos at Reading. Brenda raided the cash machine and then I went to Better Boating for diesel whilst she went back to Tescos on a shop.
Once I had returned and collected her, we set off through Blakes Lock and onto the K&A. As I emptied the lock, another boat arrived so we agreed to wait at the next lock to share.
We continued on to Aldermaston where we had to wait to lift the bridge as we arrived just at the start of the 'rush hour' at 4.30.
At this point the trusty Di Blasi proved that this title was not deserved and refused to start. So, having blagged an extra day off work, I now had no means to get to my car (still at Odiham) and things looked bleak. In the end I resorted to that well proven system of 'phone a friend' and blagged a lift.
Finally got home at 9.30 in the evening to unload and prepare for Friday at work :-(
Trying to mend the Di Blasi today.
