Now the blog year 2016 is over, and it's actually kind of fun to look at the statistics. When you put a lot of work into writing and photographing and blogging, it's fun to see if anyone is reading.

We have had a quiet weekend in the houseboat. We have run our training programme on the lower deck, watched TV and had a coffee with some friends. But mostly we have been sitting at the computers and working on different projects around the blog. It feels a bit like this is the calm before the storm.
