      With it being so hot and dry, do you two find yourself spending more time on the boat and/or around the water?

      There was a picture yesterday of a jeans release where the football pitch look extremely dry. Is it that bad all over Gosport/Portsmouth?

                                    Is Ramsgate still as much of a shithole as it used to be? Haven't been there since I moved up north 20 years ago.

                                        It is a funny mixture.

                                        Very stoned cadaver-like zombies sitting around on benches, lots of public day drinking (slightly more vocal zombies), proper punch-ups in the street (we got involved in one at 8pm on Sat night, lot of blood involved - not ours) but a really great selection of restaurants. Met a whole slew of lovely people, but mostly they were visitors in the marina......
