Out and about

Woke up this morning to the patter of tiny feet. Actually it sounded like the timpani section of the orchestra. Ducks on the roof. 

As I said last night, after breakfast we set off immediately to see if there were any moorings nearer to the city centre. As we went along we noted all the available moorings should it be necessary to turn round and retrace our steps. 

There were in fact several moorings at Jericho opposite St Barnabas Church. 

I then had to deal with the calling cards that the ducks had left on the roof last night. 

Luckily the pressure washer came into its own and made short work of the mess. However, it did remove some paint in one or two areas. 

Take my word for it, it looks much better than it did before. 

We'd arranged to meet a friend for lunch at the Weston Library café but had time to see some of the sights first. 

Plenty to look at but lots of people all over the place. 

This building in Oxford was probably built in the 15th century. 

After a very pleasant lunch and catch-up we then returned to the boat to roast a chicken and settle in for the evening. 

A very enjoyable day.
