Listen to your Mother - she's right,

When she says "Don't pick it"
What started off as frost damage - 'knock off the flakey bits before painting'.



quickly became



Then, inevitably



So, instead of getting the boat ready, and playing in Sahona's expensive new 'conservatory' that Saturn Sails sails has invoiced, but we have not yet had a chance to see, I am raiding the neighbourhood skips for reasonable bricks and learning another new skill.
I wish my mum were still here to stop me from being so stupid.

Now I know that concrete hulls are not that unusual (if a little passe these days) but I have NEVER seen a brick built hull before. However, there is a firm called the Stone Boatbuilding Coy near where I live - so maybe I have got it all wrong.

Well I knew that Claymores are built like a brick outhouse, and here is the proof.

Sir Cumference.
I take exception to your slur. My yacht may not have been tidy when you last visited, but it was not a maison de merde.
How dare you sir.
Frosties at dawn. Be there.

Ah, you noticed the slur? Shorry bout tha, s'a bit of prollem.
However, built like one is not the same as look like one.
As one who was brought up to respect my elders, I am prepared to meet your terms, and I shall instruct my second forthwith. Will I need a bib to eat these Frosties?

More than likely.
Due to our policy against profligate waste, it must be of the "pelican" type and all dropped frosties must be (re)consumed.

[FullCircle]

Most excellent. I shall bring decent gold top milk to help the frosties stick to the bib.
