A successful visit to the dentist but a little irritated by my referral to their hygienist the cleaning work will stop. The fish are improving, and I hope that the Steryzine treatment is working but they are eating sparsely, and I am still swabbing Mercurochrome daily onto the Ohgon’s back as it refuses to heal up. I bought an old military chest, some pain and some stencils, for Sundance his riding kit and tack to be stored in at Offord. Fiona reveals to me that there had a second accident in the last week involving one of their horses and cars and the first horse had to be put down, which is a worry for riding in the area. Percy, Pat and Michael came around for a working session for the forthcoming issue of Buckden County wards Focus.
I had a sluggish start to the day which was spent substantially away from my history work. We started with a dentist appointment in St Neots and was struggling to get there for 9:15am. There was a clean bill of health for both Debbie and I, but both of us are booked to see the hygienist for cleaning work. It all seems a ruse to get more money out of us to me. They employ this girl to do the work and then have to find the patience to fill her diary. We had a coffee and then some time together for a change, looking around the market and then the Shaw’s auction showroom. I wanted to buy a chest for Debbie to put Sundance’s tack in but I could not find anything there. I also went to Clover Office Supplies and got some stencils to put his name on it. Diana was going off to the doctor to get a tetanus inoculation and so I came home and netted each other fish in turn and looked their gills. They seem to be a lot better today for once and I hope that the Steryzine treatment is working. Mr Field, of Avenue fisheries, called today for an update and I briefed him as well. I am now swabbing Mercurochrome daily onto the Ohgon’s back as it refuses to heal up and all the fish are still not eating very well. This afternoon, I drove over to Huntingdon and bought an old metal military chest for £15. I then got some pain so the rust could be removed and it could be brightened up for Sundance.

Then I went on to St Ives Norris Museum to inspect, and then to borrow, some photographs of Little Paxton for copying. Lastly, I went to Offord to see Fiona about the horse insurance. She had little time to spare as they had just had yet another accident involving a horse and a car – the second in a week! The last horse had to be put down due to its injuries. I decided not to tell Diana and the girls as they already had enough to worry about and they are well aware of the dangers of traffic. The traffic is increased so much in recent years and there seems so little quiet lanes any more. This evening, Percy, Pat and Michael came around for a working session. Pat keyed in the copy for the forthcoming issue of Buckden County wards Focus and the three of us (the rest) worked out a budget and printing plan for the County Council elections. It ended up quite late as I started getting hard failures with the Apple Mac we will need some attention soon
