Working in the garden on a cooler day, erecting a fence, weeding and it was mercifully cooler on today and so, after washing and shaving in Heronshaw, I was out quite early working in the garden. I erected the new fence to secure the garden, made a trap door in the shed for storage and continued weeding whilst Diana went shopping on her own this morning. Everyone by the larger dinghy to go swimming at the Nordic Leisure Centre to coincide with the hottest time of the day.

She came back with an electric kettle for the bungalow and is definitely warming to the place. "I could live here", she mused over breakfast. As I was working, Daniel went out on the inflatable and I let Debbie and Della go out in the large dinghy to the shops in Horning across the river which is quite a first for them. Once we were back together, we took the dinghy as a family to have lunch at the Horning Ferry Inn and went swimming afterwards at the Nordic Leisure Centre to coincide with the hottest time of the day.

I worked in the late afternoon and evening weeding the rest of the garden and managed to get Daniel to do some work in the restored shed. I had made a trap door to complete the floor and I gave him the job of putting up tool clamps so that all of the gardening and other tools could be mounted on the shed wall out of the way. After his initial protests, he settled down to the job and the results were surprisingly good. He can be helpful if he tries! It is not long now before he hears the results of his "A"-level examinations. I ended the day with a nice bath which was most relaxing after all my exertions.
