Despite various tests there’s still no definite conclusion as to what is ailing her. She’s still listless and off her food, she’s lost three kilos in the last three weeks. We’ve tried different antibiotics and the one she’s on now seems to be the most effective, but that’s not saying much. As of yesterday her urine sample was still showing blood and a high white cell count, indicating an infection. We’re now waiting on the latest test results, hopefully we’ll know more tomorrow.
Meanwhile, on the human rather than canine front –
We had Mags’ son Neil and his wife Val stay with us for a few days, enjoyed a social gathering with family over at Ingleton, and attended a family funeral near Blackpool.
Neil after we’d gone back out to Bradley last week.
We came back into Skipton yesterday, luckily dropping into a space opposite the services as a hire boat was just leaving. On the way we’d pulled in at Snaygill Boats to fill up with diesel and swap an empty gas bottle.
I mentioned some while ago that I was changing the leaded design on the glazed saloon doors. Gone is the geometric diamond pattern, now we’ve an organic, art nouveau inspired design.
Leaded, but there’s the colour to apply now.
It’s taken two whole days to get this far… but considerably longer to agree on the design!
Not sure what we’re doing next, depends on Meg’s test results. We’ll probably toddle out to Gargrave for a change for the weekend, but then again the weather is supposed to be turning decidedly cooler. And damper. We’ll see…
Locks 0, miles 9.

Sorry to hear that Meg is still off-colour, hope she picks up soon :)
Praying for rain so that you can get on the move again, you'll be getting to know every inch of the canal up there soon!
WOW, can't wait to see the leaded glass in full technicolour, looks good so far :)
Love the new window design on the doors, please post pictures when they're painted. Hope Meg gets sorted soon and starts to feel more like her usual self. Love and hugs to Margaret too. xx
