A wet morning as I caught up with administration and Diana with housework after which Daniel joined us for lunch in the Norwich McDonalds with the City very busy.

Back to walk Sam around Neatishead Hall as we hear the news of wounded children from Yugoslavia being brought for treatment in U.K. hospitals

It was an unusually slow start for us on a wet morning as even Sam was content in his kennel for a while rather than outside getting wet. Out by about 8.30am for a local walk and then, after breakfast, I did some of my necessary administration whilst Diana got on with housework. I called my conveyancing solicitor and agreed some things with her and then settled a lot of bills that needed paying. Daniel got himself ready to leave for Paxton but, as lunchtime approached, I got him to join us for lunch at the McDonalds on the outskirts of Norwich.

The city was packed with children on school holiday and also holidaymakers trying to find something to do in the poor weather. It had stopped raining by then, but it was too late to affect their plans and the sheer numbers of them prevented us taking the girls for a swim in the Aquapark afterwards. The roads were also full of traffic that made driving and parking a misery. Some time in the City itself, collecting a replacement contact lens for Debbie and doing some other chores.

Back to Horning before tea. I resisted a plan to rush out to Norwich again to take the girls to see "Ninja Turtles III" and we had a quieter evening instead. I managed to finish my reading of my book on the 1953 east coast floods and took Sam for a walk on a new circular walk around Neatishead Hall. Also took him for a proving run in The Jolly with the recently-serviced engine. The news is of wounded children from Yugoslavia being brought for treatment in U.K. hospitals but the problems there seem insuperable.
