One small job I've been able to do over the last week has been to paint the side of the hull in the engine room. Previously I'd treated this with a mix if boiled linseed oil and Owatrol, but I thought a coat of paint might not go amiss. The plan was to paint it grey, but I found an old tin of red undercoat which I thought might make a good base. Having done it Mary and I quite like it as it is.
Speaking of features, Mary has been part of a focus group that was broadcast on BBC radio 4 recently, I've tried to embed it here.
