A slower start after a late night and then some reservations after eating a fried breakfast that I had not had enough recent exercise to justified. Distributing batches of my focus leaflets to delivery helpers today and then delivering Diddington myself before driving down to Avenue fisheries to return loan equipment and get further advice on my ailing Koi. This afternoon, a good meeting with Mr and Mrs Drake and their daughter Lisa agreeing grooming and riding schedules for Sundance. A private London hospital has been exposed paying for living kidney donors
Diana let me lay in for an hour this morning which was just as well as I had been up very late last night finishing off the second section of my chapter on Little Paxton church. After my shower and shave, I went down and had a fried breakfast and suffered a little bit of conscience, as I have not been getting enough exercise lately for that much fatty food and calories. This morning, I took round my parcels of focus leaflets to my delivery helpers, which always takes a long time as I have to chat to each of them to keep them happy and thank them. I also actually delivered to Diddington myself. Then down the A1 to Sandy and the carp man at Avenue Fisheries. I return the equipment from loan and then told him how the smaller one had not survived its first night in isolation. Also, how the rest do not seem to want to eat the pellet soaked in antibiotic and are reverting to the habit of mouthing the service and gasping a bit. I was home in time for a nice lunch of turkey and then I sat in the conservatory with the girls for a while as they played climbing all over me. At 2pm, we had a prearranged visit from Mr and Mrs Drake and their daughter Lisa. Lisa is going to help Debbie look after Sundance and is a very keen horsey type without money. The parents seem to be very responsible and so we decided that we should go ahead. I will pay the cost to keep things simple.

Eventually, they had gone and, after tending the birds and eating tea, I spent this evening on my history again.
