Here's the layout inside the boat, left to right:

LOUNGE: Step up to the forewell. Table slides in alongside the fridge. Sofa and footstools convert to a bed. Wood stove.

GALLEY: Oven, sink, hob/stovetop, fridge, upper cupboards over ½ the worktops/counters.

CABIN/OFFICE/LAUNDRY: Washer below a single bed. Desk folds out.

TOILET. Drop-through to brown-water tank.

WET ROOM. Shower, sink.

CABIN: Bed pulls out for two. Steps to stern deck.

The Macclesfield Canal has broken through its bank. This is called a breech. Or is it spelled breach?

It's pants either way.

(That's a pun only Brits and Aussies will understand. Breeches are a type of trousers. The expression "it's pants" means "it's unpleasant". A breach is a rupture.)

For comparison, last year's Lancaster breach cost £1,600,000 to repair.

I removed an electrical part for cleaning.

A wire sparked and later I noticed my battery monitor was dark. It stayed that way after I cleaned and reconnected the part.

I traced the wire from the back of the monitor in the control panel, through the bulkhead to the engine compartment, and into an electric box. And there it was: a blown fuse.

Fuse replaced (2 for £1.09). Battery monitor works. It says: 14.40.

Spring is here. No more freezing weather, so I can refill the water tank and plumbing, and start the spring cleaning.

All winter, I've been filling a 5-litre water dispenser for drinking water. I've been using the toilet block to keep me and the dishes clean. Now I can do all that on board again.

The water tank has a stainless steel flange and cap which unscrews. A standard garden hose (or hose pipe) fills the water tank.
