Daniel was playing with his car all day, reckoning that his alternator is not working as well as it should

Whilst the family were busy, with Di at weightwatchers, Debbie horse-riding, and Daniel playing with his car, I was having a quiet day watching the World Athletics Championships on TV and carried on with my press cuttings backlog whilst also continuing to water the Games Lawn.                                            

The family were busy today, but I took things quietly. Diana went to Wait-Watchers and was quite pleased with the result and then took Debbie horse-riding as Della stayed home with me. Di got the flowers for Dad and tended his grave to keep it nice. Daniel was fiddling with his car all day. He reckons his alternator is not working as well as it should but does not really have a clue what to do about it.

I watched the World Athletics Championships on TV and carried on with my press cuttings backlog at the same time. I took down the croquet set as nobody wanted to play and the lawn needed watering after all this sun. I rigged up the pump that I had brought back from Norfolk and pumped-up water from the sump to completely wet the lawn where the mains water supply (even if it is all right to use it) had nowhere near the same pressure.
