A day in the life of Bev, a skipper in glasgow

Bev (and richie)

I'll get up at...

0600 to make tea and watch the crows and gulls out back. They always have a major indaba about 40 minutes before dawn... I'm sure they communicate with dance and flight.

And then I...

Will work on a funding application for a project to take people with dementia out on the canal.

My day will consist of...

Draining the water from the barge's diesel tanks; this has to be done every spring. Having lunch with our grandchildren that my partner looks after, planning the litterpick & bbq at Bowling Beach this saturday.

I'll look after...

My tiny dachshund Richie - he'll need a walk, and I'll help with the grandchildren in the afternoon.

Other things I'll do in the day are...

A cryptic crossword, maybe; some writing, definitely. It's the Bank Street Writers gathering tonight.

I'll go to bed after...

2200
