some of these houseboats

.. are quite eccentric. Over the years they've become quite sought after and now you can book an airbnb stay in some of them. Still quite a sense of community around them, as far as I can tell.

Nice quiet Bank Holiday only venturing as far as tennis - cold and windy, but nice to see people and get some exercises. Otherwise I've been watching Roland Garros, wondering what to do with the grandchildren on Wednesday and reading a Val McDermid novel
