Putting my pool to bed on another very wet day, with the swimming season deemed to be over and then watching Ryder Cup golf with Europe drawing level prior to the final day.
I now step back from being the campaign organiser for the entire constituency and just organise the St Neots Branch area as I keep differing with the candidate Sue. Daniel only managed to sell his Montego Estate for £1,500
Up quite late last night, watching the Ryder Cup Golf matches and then I took it a little easy first thing this morning. Some time with Della and then out to feed the fish, doves etc before spending the rest of the morning working on the swimming pool. I had decided that, with the weather turning so cold and miserable, the pool would have to be put to bed for the winter and so I vacuumed it and then super-chlorinated the water before putting on the winter cover. I went into town and tried to get some timber and materials from Tebbutts, but this building supplier is a shadow of its former self in this recession.

I did get some draft exclusion tape for the French windows and installed it on three of them before the rain came again. This done, I spent most of the rest of the day watching the Ryder Cup Golf again until the European players managed to end the second day dead level with the U.S. team for a grandstand finish tomorrow. They played Foursomes and Fourball games in the morning and afternoons of the first two days, but then all play singly for the last day. Daniel came back home for a couple of hours and then took his other car away. He had managed to sell his Montego Estate but then only for £1,500 which was much less than he had hoped for. Debbie was at school in the morning and then went riding in the afternoon, but poor Della was bored and kept coming to see me in the lounge as I was trying to watch the golf.
Diana was getting quite upset with me sitting around all of the time watching TV, but it is not very often that I do. I did some work later, writing up the notes for the last campaign meeting and then faxed these with a covering note to Sue Sutton. I have now suggested that I step back from being the campaign organiser for the entire constituency and just organise the St Neots Branch area as I keep differing with Sue and the others on the best approach for the General Election. It was a very wet day again and my doves are really suffering.
