A day working at home in my office, balancing bank accounts and making calls. Chasing Nigel about our Cambridge Street project after seeing the girls off to the bus stop with Sam.
The final day in the first Test Match in which England lost a match they could well have saved
A day to stay at home and work away at my backlog of paperwork but still I did not tackle the filing that has become a real problem. Diana woke me with my morning tea and then I had breakfast with the girls before getting out with Sam to see them off on the bus. Della went without any trouble despite looking a bit tattered with her plucked eyelashes. She seems popular at school at the moment and is continually invited to go places by other girls. Two long walks with Sam today and, the weather being very hot again, I got him to go swimming after sticks in the gravel pits to cool down.

He took the last of his antibiotics this morning and I made him an appointment to see the vet in Norwich on Wednesday in case he needs to take any more. I started work by making several telephone calls, trying to progress a number of outstanding matters and then I moved on to the cheque and investment accounts. I was annoyed to discover that my Coop VISA credit card company had unilaterally changed its terms and put all of my bank balances out and had to try and progress that as well. Had also to chase Nigel about the proposed purchase of Cambridge Street and phoned and faxed the solicitor about trying to get the transaction right.
It now depends on a site visit tomorrow. Final arrangements with Steven for our trip to Norfolk and some other correspondence before retiring on time. I did not spend all of my time working today but also watched some of the final day in the first Test Match. England lost a match they could well have saved which was a disappointment. John Grosvenor came round today to get advice on possible business ventures and seems likely to go in for a pub tenancy as he could not find any employment after being made redundant.
