Thursday 8th January 2009

With several days of annual leave being carried over from last year, and a number of TOIL days accumulated from my recent trips to Venice, I decided that I would take Friday off with the intention of heading back to the boat to fit a new water heater.

A phone call to Uxbridge Boat Centre confirmed that they also stocked the draft diverter (a separate unit which fits on top of the heater to prevent the pilot light from being extinguished by drafts!) and that both heater and diverter would be put to one side for me.

In the evening, whilst reading through some canal emails on Yahoo’s canal-list, I spotted one asking about high temperature silicon sealant to which someone else had responded that they thought UBC stocked it.  Having bought a tube of the sealant for the chimney of the Morsø last year from UBC, I responded that to the best of my knowledge they did stock it, and whilst I had their details on screen, I cut ‘n paste the telephone, fax and opening hours into my reply.
