A slow start after a late night and then taking Sam for a walk to the village for a newspaper and then around the fields.
Then taking the girls to Wroxham Library to take out ‘Baby-Sitters’ books and the afternoon watching Rugby League on TV.
The evening taking Sam and Francis to Wroxham Bridge Restaurant.
I was up very late last night playing with my computer game in frustration at not having most of my journal data files with me and so I was sound asleep when Diana awoke me after 8.30am. Ready and then out with the dog before breakfast, taking him to Horning village for a newspaper after a walk round the fields. It had been the coldest night yet this winter and the water had been up with the tide in the dyke and subsequently frozen so that there was ice on the road and frost elsewhere.

After breakfast, I offered to take the girls to Wroxham Library and they spent hours going through all their stock of existing and new Baby-Sitters books until we were back quite late for lunch. I had first tried to get some money from the building society but they were closed today. As the bank holiday of New Years Day falls on a Saturday this year, they are closed on both today and Monday which is bad news for us and represents poor service. I had got Diana to prepare a mackerel salad lunch for me whilst I was gone but I had inadvertently bought cabbage in mistake for a lettuce!
The afternoon watching Rugby League on the TV and then a bath and hair wash before it was time for the children to have tea and us to get ready for our evening out with Sam and Francis. It was an enjoyable evening and even their children liked being left at Harnser with the girls. It was also a change for them as they seldom get out for a meal without their children. The Wroxham Bridge restaurant did us proud and both the meal and service was enjoyable and a good time was had by all. To bed at a more reasonable time than of late.
