Up as usual to a frosty reception from Diana still fuming over Sam's excursion into the house yesterday and worried over the financial health of EuroDisney, our intended holiday destination this spring, that is threatened with closure after enormous losses. Breakfast slightly later than during the week and then out with Sam for a little while, so he would be comfortable and reliable for a walk to the bus stop with Della to see Debbie off to school.

I opted for a change of scenery for Sam this morning, taking him across the fields from the top of Priory Hill after posting some letters in town. I got him to do some quartering but did not get the good pattern of yesterday. Still his obedience was quite good. Some swimming for him later in the day as I threw dummies out of his depth and with a reasonably difficult entry into the gravel pits. I let him go up to other people and dogs on the lead and, though quite good, he returned to his habit of nibbling one lady out of excitement until I calmed him.
Out with Diana and the family for our customary lunch at the Little Paxton Little Chef which was even quieter than usual with the bridge-repairs and road works diverting the traffic. Back just in time for the start of the seasons Rugby Union International season where England battled away in a hard-fought Calcutta Cup match away to Scotland and just won by a converted penalty with the last kick of the match. I had to hurry tea after I came back with Sam and then got Diana and the girls out to the cinema in Bedford where we saw "Waynes World II" and, despite the film being so silly, we enjoyed it.
Back via Avenue Road to drop off the canvas sheets that I had entered onto the Ears computer system and to chat with Sally and Brian Guinee. As I had disturbed Diana last night by being restless, I stayed up until midnight this time entering more computer election data and then watching televised football. Norwich could only draw 2-2 at home with Liverpool but it must have been an attractive match.
They have sold Ruel Fox, their fast striker, for over £2million and there were some ground protests planned. News of the fate of the bulk carrier sinking way out in the Atlantic off of Lands End and it now seems that all hands went down with it. John Major still experiencing problems with his Chief Treasury Secretary Lilley who has made another xenophobic speech criticising overseas educational standards.
