Daniel arrived at lunchtime but did not return as invited for dinner later

The day cutting and fitting Masterboard at Horning as Daniel arrived at lunchtime but did not return as invited for dinner later. Did not fancy doing very much after this and so just rested and read my book on how to train pointer-retrievers which I found very interesting

The night was cold and the morning still very chilly indeed when I got up and made my breakfast of toast and cereal. My thoughts turned to the protection of both properties and The Paxton Princess from forthcoming frost. It was around 8.30am before I got out and resumed working on the masterboard. I took the easier line and fitted the strips to the open boat-house to start with and then moved into the store-room and managed to put up two sections of walling from the partial boards left. I concluded that another five boards were needed to finish this and the ceiling upstairs and tried to contact Jewsons accordingly but Richard Fisher being on holiday for the week, I decided to use what materials I have and leave the question of further orders until then.

I was out for some supplies and take-away lunch when Daniel arrived but I was back in time to give him the things that I had brought up for him and hoped to see him for dinner this evening which he promised to consider. I stopped work early, bathed, changed and did the washing up ready to go out but he did not come back, which was a pity. Still, I had got in some seafood for tea and, after giving him a further half hour by updating my journal and telephoning home, I resorted to that. Did not fancy doing very much after this and so just rested and read my book on how to train pointer-retrievers which I found very interesting
