Crimson’s Creative Challenge #84
Grandpa used to say he’d pulled the letters out of a bag to name his boat.
And we believed him.
Until we were clearing his things from his boat after he died, ready to sell the old berth, and found a letter.
From his wartime sweetheart. Postmarked Wehlau

Ya done good for last minute! I fear with the new job, new hours… I’m going to be struggling with getting myself going for the next week or so. Until my rhythm is found, that is!

I shouldn’t think you would!
I’ll just pick and choose for the next while…
Thanks. It’s crazy long hours but only three per week… I should have time to recup in between shifts.
