Miscellaneous observations
Being woken by rowers passing a couple of yards to one side of the bed is neat.
A solid fuel stove produces a lot of heat.
A steel boat on a river in February absorbs a lot of heat before it's
comfortable for those aboard to walk around in stockinged feet.
Coal is heavy.
When I lived in a house, I used way too much water and electricity. In particular, if you have to carry the sewage to the disposal point and pour it out yourself every time the loo container fills up, you make absolutely sure you don't use any more flush water than you need.
Things often look more attractive when seen through a small gap like a porthole or a hatch.
It is odd, but cool, to look out of your living room window and observe that the water outside the window is a couple of feet higher than yours.
