On another close and hot day, with stubble burning leaving smoke in the air, worrying news from my Mum who is depressed and about LibDem colleague Derek Giles who is in police custody after threatening some gypsies with his shotgun. Word from Trevor Grey next door at Horning about my planning application.
I had expected today to be quiet and without incident; but there were events planned with the children. Diana had made arrangements for a few of Debbie's friends to come over for the day and set off to collect one of them, but the other two could not make it. Then Della's friend, Naomi, was invited over and so the house was again enlivened by the sound of pattering feet (and all else). Angela stayed the night after they had gone out for a drink together and then Daniel took her back to Hertford this morning. Once he was back, I spoke to him about the car and persuaded him that he should call it a day on his tinkering and content himself with the alternator charging performance and then do a few other chores.

Another hot and sticky day spent at home after a late night updating my journal whilst watching the World Championship Marathon whilst including an exciting 4 by 400m relay event where the Great Britain team just beat the USA to gain only our second gold medal of the championships.
Outside for coffee with Di in the sun as Daniel had his head buried into his oily car all day again which did not please Angela who had come to stay with him for the weekend; particularly as she was thrown fully-clothed into the pool for the second day running! Writing and archiving press cuttings for the rest of the day
I had stayed up quite late last night watching the World Championship Marathon whilst updating my journal and so I wanted a lay in this morning and went back to sleep after Diana brought me my morning tea. Up in my dressing-gown for a nice fried breakfast and then I went straight into the lounge to watch the last of the athletics events, including an exciting 4 by 400m relay event where the Great Britain team just beat the USA to gain only our second gold medal of the championships. The final medal tally was not too bad in the end after a disappointing start but there were far too many injuries that affected the team, and an inquest will be needed.
