Early Start to Summer

Working on the inside of the boat has been a bit of a mission over the last 2 weeks, as summer in NZ has started early, with temperatures inside TC getting up to about 35c!.
The heads are now white, not the trendy 80's cream, it could have been worse, avocardo, how tastes change...

Thursday's Child

Thursday's Child poem

Mondays child is fair of face,
Tuesdays child is full of grace,
Wednesdays child is full of woe,
Thursdays child has far to go,
Fridays child is loving and giving,
Saturdays child works hard for his living,
And the child that is born on the Sabbath day
Is bonny and blithe, and good and gay.

The Name

This is one of the most serious discussions Mr & Mrs DIY have had about our boat project, to change the name of Thursday's Child of Lee, or leave it as it is.
The names considered were - Crispy Bacon (a family joke) and it related to this boats past, Duamara - a name that had a lot of memories for Mrs DIY, Indecision III - the name speaks for itself!
The first one was ruled out as being to 'cute', the second still a possible, the 3rd I ruled out as I got sick of people asking me who was the indecisive one! - the name of our last boat was Indecision II.
So at this point it looks as though we will keep it as Thursday's Child - I quite like the song and Mrs DIY, the poem.
