After a day of sawing and hammering to board much of the veranda, it was time to return home to see Daniel and the rest of the family, who I treated to a meal out at The Little Chef.
Then to Bedford with Di to look at Texas Homecare and then to the cinema to see a funny Goldie Hawn film called "House-sitters" which we both enjoyed.
I was awake early this morning, and it seemed brighter than yesterday. I was all aches and pains after my physical work, but I soon loosened up as I ate an accustomed breakfast of wheat flakes. I was out and working from 7.15am onwards but I concentrated on sawing up the planking into suitable lengths and did not start hammering until after 8.00am. A few hours of hectic work during which I boarded the entire veranda and worked out what needed to be done next. However, it soon became apparent that I was not going to finish it this morning and so I broke off in mid-morning, packed things up and then set off for home, stopping off at the library as I drove through Wroxham to take back yet another of Debbie's books.

Also dropped in on Eyre Electrical for another component and then on MFI to get a replacement work-top filler strip and also see how they had fitted the hob extractor so I could copy the technique on my return. The journey home went slowly as the roads were very busy on a Saturday, the holiday season not quite being over yet. I arrived in St Neots in time to rendezvous with the family who were in town to get Debbie's eyes tested for new glasses. Daniel was home again, having returned from France and left Angela crying at having to leave him for her year's French study leave. It was good. however, to have him back and he will now have to return home more often for some home comforts!
Treated the family to lunch at The Little Chef and then all home afterwards to relax and look at my latest photographs of the building project which is looking good. An early tea and then I took Diana to Bedford for a look at Texas Homecare and then to the cinema to see a funny Goldie Hawn film called "House-sitters" which we both enjoyed. My journal and then to bed with today's newspaper.
