A family shopping trip to Norwich another warm, muggy but dull day. Coffee at Jarrold’s where we bought some walking guides and to the country wear shop for better walking shoes. Lunch at The Pizza Hut and some blanks for dog training and a long walk later.

The government won their confidence vote and Maastricht prevails and an election is avoided. Even so, the authority of John Major has been irretrievably damaged

It was another warm, muggy but dull day that proved quite tiring and trying. A longish walk for Sam first thing after a bit of a lay in and then the task of getting the whole family ready for a shopping trip to Norwich. Eventually able to leave with Sam in the back for good measure. Parked in the multistorey car park and then over to Jarrold’s for morning drinks and a foray around their bookshop where we got a large range of walking guides for our evening rambles.

Took the family to choose a new telephone for Harnser and then Diana across to the country wear shop for some better walking shoes and then, whilst she went off with the girls for some more shopping, I went back to the car to off-load and then took Sam for a walk around Norwich and exercised him in the park. All back together again for lunch at The Pizza Hut and then some more shopping. I collected my AYA No2 shotgun from the gunsmith and bought some more blanks and a starting pistol for training Sam to drop to shot.

Back to Horning quite tired after all of the effort and, after Diana had made the tea and whilst Daniel installed the telephone, I took Sam for a walk and then spent the evening clearing up etc. We opted not to go for a long walk this evening, being tired enough after today's exertions in such muggy weather. The government won their confidence vote and Maastricht prevails and an election is avoided. Even so, the authority of John Major has been irretrievably damaged, and he cannot use the confidence issue again to press-gang his colleagues without losing their respect completely. Cooler, damper and fresher weather on the way.
