Some drinks and snooker with Nigel by arrangement over at Hail Weston House

A slow start after a late night as the fishing season starts and I catch up filing and prepare for my three-week Norfolk trip.

Some drinks and snooker with Nigel by arrangement over at Hail Weston House as we wait for the children’s exam results.

I stayed up until 12.40am last night, watching the film "Bounty" on TV and so was very reluctant to get up this morning. I therefore found the day quite tiring and frustrating, but I was still able to get on. It was raining all day until it cleared up in the evening and so, despite two long walks, Sam was confined in his kennel. To his credit, he did not complain and was the model of good behaviour as I worked away in my office. I had a few items of mail today that dealt with aspects of Mum's affairs and so I first had to get those out of the way by replying.

Then Diana wanted my company for a trip (i.e. lunch) to Brampton Garden Centre and I also had to go out again in late afternoon to sign some documents at Barclays Bank in St Neots for Mum again. Despite all this, I successfully undertook all of my filing and got well under way with the process of archiving May's journal, but I ran out of time in the evening and had to break off and get packed up for the morning. This, before it was time to go out for some drinks and snooker with Nigel by arrangement over at Hail Weston House. The girls seem to be getting on with this week's examinations all right and there is none of the nerves that Della was suffering from last time.

We just hope that all goes well with them and we hope the same for Daniel who is waiting for his Final Exam results for his Computer Science BSc(Hons) Degree. I had decided today to spend the next three days in Norfolk as, not only did I already have an appointment with Mann Egerton in Norwich for Friday, but I also had a lot of jobs to do. I had already told Steve that I was not planning a sea trip in view of the weather, and he opted to stay at home to do some of his own jobs.
