A later start to walk Sam and then linking my computer to the boat Wayplan navigational system to update charts etc.
Back to Paxton in time to walk Sam and then a quite evening watching the Rugby League on the TV
Another very late night and slept right through until my radio alarm went off at 8.00am. Sam was a little grumpy but waited until I had washed and eaten breakfast and then we had a walk along Crabbett's Marsh. At this time of year there is just the couple in the chalet opposite who say hello. There living accommodation seems to be a single room but yet they survive the cold and damp and still tend the garden lovingly.

A windy but fine day to take Sam on a good training walk and then working in the garden preparing to trap the invasive moles. To Wroxham with the girls and also to buy seafood. The evening working on my computer charts and journal.
The wind had got up in the night, but the temperatures were still mild and the rain stayed away for my morning run with Sam. I had allowed myself an hour's lay in and the dog was good to wait. In fact, he was also good on the walk; quartering steadily and enthusiastically and being quite obedient, before finding a pheasant in the dyke road near home. He has the gait of a much more mature dog than he was and I hope that this will be the portent of things to come.

A slow start to the day after a late-night and then hearing of the demise of Mrs Burton opposite.
An aborted service for the Discovery at Mann Egerton due to lack of parts and then work at Harnser and I was loaned a Mini Metro instead of a Land Rover.
The row continues as Sein Fein release more papers revealing the scope of its negotiations with the government
I was up late last night working on my computer and was therefore most reluctant to wake up this morning when my radio gave me the call. The weather was mild again and I had no trouble getting out with the dog; stopping to chat to Doris on the way. She tells me of the fate of Mrs Burton opposite; now admitted to a psychiatric hospital suffering from depression and thought not able to return to her home in Ropes Hill Dyke.
