Aw Softstuff, try and stay calm until you know what you're dealing with - sending positive vibes from over the sea :-)

Hester, fantastic!!!!

Oh Softstuff how worrying. I pray it will be just what money says. It does sound like that. While reading everyones reaction I thought the same in relation to all your renovations.

With a new job that is also keeping you very busy it will have been very easy of forget a knock that was not very painful and left nothing visible.

Now I can just picture Hester and the L&M playing Swallows and Amazons on the canals and running with a Scull and Crossbones flag hoisted above the cabin.....but like the queen only when they're on board!!! The next GREAT ADVENTURE if ever there was one eh?

Narrow Dog to Carcasson was one of the best books I've enjoyed, we read it after the TV series and we actually met Jim the whippet wearing his dog life jacket ( 'I am NOT a handbag') at a narrow boat convention and he is a lovely boy, his owners were very nice too!!!

Softstuff - you may not have knockedyour leg but doing all that heavy Duty may have put some strain in the area.
Burtha - hope you're watching Carry on Barging on channel 5 ( just in case lol)
Went to see La La land with DH this afternoon. I enjoyed it but didn't think it was a stand out film.

Softstuff

Thanks all. I don't think I've knocked there, awkward spot to knock really, but it's certainly possible. Going to get an appointment with my own gp and see what he says, I'd swear it's bigger today. Glad to hear reassuring stories too.

Maybe it's finally happened, with all the work I've been doing I said I could use another pair of hands.... I just didn't mean for them to grow there!

Thoughts with you, Softstuff. Glad you were able to start the ball rolling so quickly to get it checked out.
I have a couple of subcutaneous cysts on a boob, I shot to the doctors about twenty years ago when I discovered them. Still there, two little ugly grey lumps.

What a worry softstuff, I do hope you get to the bottom of it and it's nothing worrying.

Great news HH, can you get a permanent mooring or do you have to move around? I read a set of books last year by Marie Browne called Narrow Margins (I think there were 4). A sort of diary of the family trying to do up a boat to live on, yours certainly doesn't look like it needs anything doing. I wish you luck and have to say I am a little envious!

Softstuff, that made me laugh too.
Camelot we will be CC'ing constant cruising as it is almost impossible to get a permanent liveaboard mooring in our area, we will try to get a winter mooring in a marina though as the Winter Stoppages (the Canal and River Trust block the canals so they can do essential maintenance) make it difficult to get about.
I have read those books, there is a lot on YouTube too, Life in a Nutshell is very funny, Cruising the cut is very informative, much better than the TV progs, especially Tim & Prue who, lovely as they may be, give the impression they are the only crew, whereas they have a pilot, and a production crew doing most of the work.
