The Americans were still smarting from criticism over their recent helicopter attack on the Somali leader

Walking Sam and working on Harnser on a drizzly and rainy day as Daniel worked on installing his car boot speaker and then helped me collect rubbish and take it to the civic amenity skip before going alone to his skating evening.

Daniel complained of me muttering in my sleep last night and my words were supposed to be "Oh No!". I knew nothing of this myself in the morning but now I have been accused of everything! My morning walk with Sam, this time in the drizzling rain which was to typify the weather for the rest of the day. It was strange weather really; the rain so fine and wetting that it was almost like being in a cloud and the weather so mild that, even in the rain, you felt like being in shirt-sleeves. Once back, breakfasted with Daniel and then he resumed work on his car boot speaker cabinet and I did a few things.

Having got Daniel to do some clearing up, I got him to help me load up the old trailer with the remaining junk from the garden and then we set off for the Civic Amenity Tip. We not only unloaded the rubbish, but also demolished much of the trailer itself as the wood was rotten and it was one of my jobs to renovate it. Then to Catfield to collect my stair balls at long last and home for some improvised lunch. After the meal, I re-tightened and virtually closed my Harnser frame wood joint, used some bath caulk to seal the showers and then labelled the fuse boxes properly for ease of identification. We drove off to Wroxham for some fish and chips and other food shopping after I had fed and walked Sam again.

The dog has not been happy this last day or so. Firstly, I had not been feeding him enough at each mealtime and then Daniel and I were too preoccupied to give him the attention he feels sure is due to him. Daniel went skating on his own this evening and claims to know a few people at the rink to give him company in the absence of Dawn. It was raining again this evening.
