After a lay in and recovery, we had breakfast on the bridge of the Paxton Princess on a warm and humid morning and went into Wroxham afterwards for some shopping. Then some gardening before a meal at a restaurant in Horning and some fishing for roach with the girls at Heronshaw afterwards. It was a very hot and sunny day today with temperatures in the mid80'sF and the drought is becoming of national concern. There was a train crash at Reading with many injured and oil prices rocketed as a dispute flares up between Iraq and Kuwait
We had quite a lay in on what proved to be yet another hot day. Although we were late to get going, Diana was first up and our morning routine prevailed as usual with our drinks and showers in the right order. We then had breakfast on the bridge of the Paxton Princess on a warm and humid morning and went into Wroxham afterwards where we bought a new automatic washing machine to install at the Heronshaw laundry and I also bought a new toilet seat for the boat and another bathroom mirror. But first we had morning coffee at the Wroxham riverside cafe.

This afternoon, I worked on the Heronshaw garden which has become quite overgrown, starting by weeding the gravel around where the clothes drier was situated. We had a meal at a restaurant in Horning and then tea in the cool and shade of the Heronshaw balcony, which is one of the few bearable places in this very hot weather. This evening, I did some fishing with the girls using my father's old fishing tackle and, to my surprise, we all caught quite a few Roach. Diana cleaned up the bathroom at Heronshaw and I switched on the electricity to heat the water for both the washing machine and bathroom. It was a very hot and sunny day today with temperatures in the mid80'sF and the drought is becoming of national concern.
