I woke early to find Diana much better this morning and, after I attended to the temperature of my new conservatory on another very mild day, I fitted the new extractor fan in the shower room at Diana’s request. Later in the day sorting out press cuttings and watching another two hours of ‘Anne of Green Gables’ with the girls.

I woke early and made my own tea again but, when she awoke, Diana had improved and was much better this morning. Early in the conservatory, feeding the fish with Daniella and worrying that the temperature had fallen to 50°F, too low for certain of my plants. I made some adjustments to the heating valves and let the heating settle around the 40°C Mark as I think the floor is up to it. I asked Diana what I should do today, and she had me fitting the extractor fan in the shower room.
