We are still chugging along the K&A, but today have gone approx nowhere [except 
by bus] - still moored just above Lock 50

Rainy morning so I took the bus to Trowbridge to get a new inverter, Hilperton 
Marina having been identified as the nearest source.  I picked up the box 
they'd set aside for me, walked back into  town to catch the bus to return to 
Devizes but, sitting at the bus stop, found they'd accidentally sold me a 230v 
to 12v device.  Not much use.  Phoned them and they promtly send a van to pick 
me up from the bus stop, found me a rather grander inverter than I'd set out to 
buy, sold it to me at a substantial discount and ferried me back to the bus 
stop.  All this on hire fleet change round day.  Seemed fair enough.  I spent 
the afternoon installing the thing and, as that went well, doing the slightly 
overdue engine service.  We'd intended to pootle on eastwards but were 
inveigled into the nearby pub [The Artichoke] by the Aussies on the next boat 
so I am posting this from exactly where we were last night, but slightly less 
sober.
