Resuming work with Diana on The Lady, cleaning the hull as she cleans the cabin roofs and then front and back cabins and then taking Diana to the Little Chef for lunch, after which we bought some fender cleaner and spray for Sundance as well as an automatic hose timer the pond. Also informing my Norfolk estate agent that I was seeking to negotiate the price of Admiral’s cottage. Taking Debbie to the stables later and driving to Cambridge to set up my computer before arriving home late
This morning I resumed work on The Lady. I went around the hull in the dinghy and scrubbed off a great deal of filth so that the boat looked quite nice in the end. Di was out to help me, as she cleaned the cabin roofs and hoovered the back and front cabins. I broke off a little while to make a few telephone calls and arranged to go to Norfolk on Thursday. I explained to the estate agent that I was looking to negotiate the price because the surveyors report had indicated a £135,000 house price valuation.

Before lunch, Di and I swam together. I had already swum this morning instead of having a shower and so, my trunks being wet, I swam naked this time! To the Little Chef for lunch and then we drove to Harry Kitchener Marine to get some fender cleaner and then to Willington Garden Centre to get some sprays to use later Sundance. Another wonder purchase as I bought an automatic hose timer, so that when I am filling out the pond, I can avoid leaving the tap on allowing the conservatory to flood. This afternoon, I collected Debbie from Kimbolton School and took her horse riding. We had to spray Sundance with a very powerful fly-spray to stop insects biting. A bit of a rush to get home and I drove on to Cambridge where Jeannie set up my computer to handle my financial transactions more automatically. I arrived home late
