A personal story
More than 40 years, told day by day
Waking up feeling much better and then leaving Horning on a fine and much brighter day which was still unseasonably changeable and cool.
This, after tidying up the gardens and commissioning the boats this trip we drove home to St Neots via Redgrave and Suton.
The morning TV news today was about this daft government’s sanctions against the EEC for declining to accept the BSE-stricken UK beef products.
I slept reasonably well and woke up feeling much better but still was awake much earlier than I would have liked.

I spent this dull day in Horning that rained later struggling to recover from this dizziness by watching the final match of the Division 1 playoffs whilst Wiggly drove into Wroxham to get some shopping.
Then to arrive on time to see “Primal Fear”, a film starring Richard Gere.
A call later from Sarah this evening about us possibly taking on an early-morning paper organiser from rival Farrant’s
A restless night for me as the room was warm and I kept needing to get up for the toilet after the extra liquids I had forced myself to drink.

More work fixing the water leak in The Jolly and also in Harnser after taking the boat out for breakfast in the village and some nice play between times in Horning.
Later, cleaning The Paxton Princess as well with the power washer set. Then watching my favourite film, “The Sting” in the evening

Resuming my journal in Horning as Wiggly mowed the lawns whilst wanting to go to the theatre and was then good company at Jerry Chan’s Chinese Restaurant for a nice meal in the evening..
A strange occurrence at the shop today as Sarah called anxiously after the computer had printed out a report for a £1,700 day!
A very long time since I last my journal and quite a lot of water has passed under the bridge since which may become apparent as time passes.
