Noreen seeing the funny side (I wish I could)
Catastrophic News
Noreen was away at school camp this weekend Teaching the arts of Canoeing, Abseiling, Orienteering, Gorge walking and the more realistic of craft of,, Wrist Breaking! or Practical First Aid
Yes, Noreen has managed to break her wrist. Apparently, Noreen was just walking through a stile when she slipped on wet grass and that was that, one broken Wrist. Having been carried off to the hospital and being covered in plaster she, like the stalwart, she is carried on and came home with the kids yesterday. Matthew brought her back to the boat last night; we considered that the train journey would just be too much even for Noreen.
So now Noreen is know as broken wing or the Kentuckian.
It will take at least 6 weeks before Noreen can use the wrist to any degree, so we have decided to return to base and maybe go out again towards the end of the summer. Now this throws up even more problems it takes two to crew the boat. Oh I know all you boaters will be saying you can do single handed, and I have done locks by myself. However with a knee that will not bend climbing in and out of locks is not the safest way to travel and I do safety first. To that end Maryanne is coming to crew us back to Birmingham and then Danny and Rachel are coming to crew us beyond Wolverhampton after that we will have to see.
Noreen has a hospital appointment on Friday they will decide then if it needs plating or not, so keep your fingers crossed. Hanging around in Warwick is not so bad it is a very nice place to be hold up so we will just have to make the best of it. I am doing the best I can looking after Noreen, the cooking, cleaning, shopping, Ironing, Washing and boat maintenance, But I will cope, I can here you all now saying or-----r poor little bugger.
So! if anyone wants a few days’ holiday on the good ship Buggerlugs and feel like doing it bit of crewing and doing a few locks give us a ring, all I can offer is bloody good food and drinks
I will keep you all informed of Noreen’s progress
Keep her in your prayers
Buggerlugs.
