Night of 29/03/2018 - Canal Walking Holiday

I on some kind of canal walking holiday with Emily - perhaps and Al and Claire too. Walking along the canal towpath at night. Looking at out huge, distorted reflections on the still, canal water. Suddenly excited that these are shadows cast by the moon - the moon is causing these huge distortions.
Is there a dog with us? I think so.
We stop for a rest on the towpath, and I fall asleep. I wake with my hand resting on the dog. Al and Claire have gone far ahead. To my surprise I find that the towpath is near to a busy pub. Two kids come cycling along the towpath. We make room for them and they pass us by. We head into the pub - it is a family orientated 'estate' style pub - or perhaps a social club. It is busy. A man at the bar is having a conversation with the barmaid about a certain kind of shampoo - ' but surely it is used only as a booster shampoo?'. It is busy and I seem to be in the way everywhere. I ask Em is she wants a drinks, but she says 'not unless it's a cup of washing up liquid'. I cannot buy a drink for myself because of the £5 card limit. I tell her I shall head back to the boat (apparently we now have a boat) - she disagrees with me, and I ask her why - and she says something about running water. I tell ehr that the place is starting to make me feel socially anxious, and she changes her mind.

Again with Em? Finding two dogs in a back street. The dogs are happy and friendly and need looking after. Where are the owners? I cannot leave them to fend for themselves. Finding an RSPCA stand. Perhaps they will look after them. I suddenly realize that I have left my bag in a huge square shaped hole in the ground - (are we at the beach?) The bag - a kind of cross between a laptop case and a suitcase is open - exposing my laptop - anyone could have stolen it.

I need an eraser, so I head into the cathedral gift shop to find one. The interior of the shop has all changed arounf. I go and look at the books - there is a second hand section for remaindered and damaged stock. I flick through the titles and am pleased to find two reprinted copies of the 'Not At Night' horror anthology series - but these are very damaged (rips in the cover etc) and not that mach cheaper than they would have been at full price. Disappointed. I find the erasers in a pot,a nd queue up to buy one. The erasers are slightly dirty and ragged looking. They will do though.
