Too late.

 Good evening. 

There is a lot of news coming out about the two stuck boats in an empty canal. There were three but they have managed to rescue one from the ledge it was teetering over. 

From the aerial photographs, it looks like it's going to be a complicated and long job to get the other two out. There is no access from a road to the site. It makes me smile to read some of the comments of how this recue might happen. 

Of course, I am no engineer, but I have seen how some heavy load movements can be achieved. This will be complicated for sure, but the experts will have a plan. It is my guess that a new road will have to be built to allow cranes to get close enough. I have seen huge cranes capable of lifting 500 tonnes at work. It's fascinating how they can reach the site then work in the smallest of spaces. I wish I was near enough to go and watch it. I wish I had started lorry driving earlier, because I wanted to move onto crane driving. I enquired about a course for mobile cranes at a training centre at Bircham Newton. It was expensive and I left it too late. I am daydreaming again. 

Another litter pick done this afternoon. Filled my bag twice from the grass verges in and out of the village. Not that anyone will notice. The cars speed around chucking their fast food wrappers and empty cans out of the window. I've done my best. 

Thanks for popping in. Toodle pip.   ilona
