My last morning session moving mud and then, after checking put the Paxton Princess, I drove home to Little Paxton to join Debbie and Della on the games lawn for some tennis practice. I also picked the first of the ripe bananas from the conservatory and ate a couple
I treated myself to a bit of a lay in this morning and turned over at 6.30am for another hour's sleep as I could not go on getting up so early. Breakfast of both cereal and toast and then out to begin the days' toil. I just opted for some work clearing the mud from the vicinity of the mooring frontage and packed up by around 11.00am for my coffee as the rain started to fall for once. The cricket test match on the TV occupied my time for longer than it should and then I ate an early lunch to make best use of the time.

I was tired after the last couple of days work and so, after putting away the fishing tackle safely, I went and sat in the boat and sorted out my maintenance and operator’s manuals, putting a lot more recently-gathered information into them. I also ran up the engines and checked out the refrigerator and everything was working all right. Then the rush to get packed up and drive home as I had become rather late for tea with the family. This evening, I joined Debbie and Della on the games lawn for some tennis practice and did little else apart from a few chores and then this journal before going to bed with Diana. I did pick the first of the ripe bananas from the conservatory and ate a couple which tasted fine but, if this is the last that you hear of me, they may not have been so!
