Off the Oxford canal

Hi you will all be glad to know we left the Oxford Canal early this morning in fact by 12.30 we had done 18 miles and 14 locks but the most rewarding part was at 07.45 turning west at the Napton Junction off the Oxford and onto a wide the canal we are now on the Grand Union Canal we will now be passing through Royal Leamington Spar, Warwick  then towards Kings Norton were I hope to call in and say hello to the people who looked after Noreen and the boat while I was in the Queen Elizabeth after my little accident.
The weather has been very kind to us, we had to get our wet gear on this morning but that was soon over it only lasted 45min but it gave the coats an airing bad new though for last night I couldn't get any telle Noreen was not impressed. But to be honest the only thing on is that very silly game where 22 men kick a ball around a field some have the ability to dive on the ground then go into a kind of act of being terribly injured and upset, whilst others procrastinate with a man in black (maybe he is the undertaker for the severely injured player, after the allotted time of 90mins they all start kissing each other, Anyway its a game I do not like and cannot understand why its on? unless everyone wants to see the actors and see how the perform either Shakespearian or Method either way I'm not watching Does anyone know how long this farce in on for???
We passed a field yesterday morning I thought we were on the Serengeti a large heard of huge Buffalo the last time I saw one that close was in Kenya just before it turned a mini over the two lieutenants sitting were not best please but what else do you expect blowing your horn at it to get out of the way with that in mind I cruised past very quietly (we!l! I don't know if they are good swimmers)    
Todays is my Brother Colin's 70th Birthday Kieth is catching us up he has always be good with his patience but he will get there. HAPPY BIRTHDAY OUR KID.

Tomorrow we are off to Royal Leamington Spar
