a delivery van and a perplexed Tom staring into the back of it.\u00a0 To the rescue I came, ready to haul the damned thing off the back of the van.\u00a0 I wasn&#8217;t much use, but my intention was good.\u00a0 The man who drove the van didn&#8217;t have many brain cells and was unwilling to help us get it off the back- he watched as Tom and Stuart slowly wiggled it on to the tail-lift and then on to the ground.\u00a0 There are some curtain twitching neighbours who seem to be on everyone in the marine&#8217;s case and find any excuse to grumble at us.\u00a0 They, and the unhelpful truck driver should all be together and make a community.\u00a0 Anyway, the van man was no help at all.\u00a0 Luckily Stuart and Tom were very handy with the sack barrel and ropes and managed to make a sort of rolling platform for it.\u00a0 I think Tom and Stuart like building things to move other things on.\u00a0 Every time I pop over Stuart&#8217;s invented another contraption that he&#8217;s put on to the side of the boat.\u00a0 Actually it&#8217;s quite good because they are safe and it&#8217;s better to be safe then in the river.<\/p>\n<p>So back to the bath!\u00a0 It is double-ended, very luxurious and every night will be like the flake advert in our boat.\u00a0 And it comes with taps and a shower and a shower curtain rail- which is very pretty.\u00a0 I like the taps but I fear they are modern and therefore a bit tacksy.\u00a0 Tom assures me that the bath is definitely NOT \ufeffVictorian, which is a bit annoying.\u00a0 I think the feet are though- they&#8217;re clunky and not at all ornate.\u00a0 Which is how I like them. But overall the bath is large and my worry now is that it will look silly in the bedroom.\u00a0 In fact, the stove is also large so we are returning it and getting a smaller one called Wendy.\u00a0 So far we have bought some very over-sized things which may become problematic. But it is nice though.<\/p>\n<p>The other thing that concerns me is that everywhere I look there&#8217;s some &#8216;flea-market style&#8217; or &#8216;boho chic&#8217; nonsense book about interior decorating.\u00a0 What I don&#8217;t like is that they try too hard and I don&#8217;t want to end up with a trying too hard boat interior.\u00a0 So I need to watch that.\u00a0 Especially because the things I like will end up falling into some &#8216;recycling antique rustic colourful materials half ebay half random furniture &#8216; sort of style.\u00a0 But then I guess that&#8217;s not really much of a snappy category&#8230; so maybe we&#8217;ll be alright.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s arrived and it&#8217;s got enormous feet!\u00a0 Bigger than my own feet!\u00a0 Yesterday at 3pm I hot-trotted over to the vessel to find a delivery van and a perplexed Tom staring into the back of it.\u00a0 To the rescue I came, ready to haul the&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[53],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-358","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-interiors"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.onaboat.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/358","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.onaboat.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.onaboat.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.onaboat.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.onaboat.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=358"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.onaboat.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/358\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":368,"href":"https:\/\/www.onaboat.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/358\/revisions\/368"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.onaboat.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=358"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.onaboat.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=358"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.onaboat.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=358"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
