Paddle boat

It turned out to be quite a physical day in the end!
After my run this morning, I painted up planters and then Steve and I went on a paddle boat hunt. He'd spotted a half burried one in the woods near the marina so we set off with a boiler suit and trowels and dug it up. We tipped the gunk out and carried it back to the boat. (My arms still haven't recovered from this!) We gave it a hose down and will give it a proper scrub come the next sunny day. I'd also like to paint it up with pink hotrod flames and my Kamikaze number 9 logo. I couldn't resist taking it for a spin whilst it was still a bit mucky though!





Whilst we were in the woods we also found a big metal box that had been dumped, so I ground the rust off it, hammerited it, and sprayed it blue. Now it is all ready to hold new plants.

AND I ran out of wood paint for my remaining planters so I hopped on the bike and cycled to homebase. Only a couple of miles each way, but enough on top of all the other exercise to leave me feeling physically exhausted and happy this evening.

It's been a good day.
