To Norfolk for the eve of the building work, reserving mooring and parking space at Horning quay for my timber delivery and then retiring tired to watch my newly-commissioned television at Heronshaw.
I had brought the accessories for the TV and commissioned it by tuning into the local frequencies and the reception was very good.
It was another hot day today and I had to check the swimming pool after all its use yesterday. Breakfast with the girls with Daniel and Angela sleeping in a while, and then I worked on in the office, getting most of the urgent paperwork out of the way before my trip to Norfolk. I stayed on until after lunch by which time I had loaded several sheets of plywood and the electrical garden shredder into the back of the Range Rover with the seats down. The journey to Norfolk afterwards had me arriving at Horning in late afternoon. I spent some time unloading in the heat and then I drove down to Horning Quay to see that there was a day-boat in the prime position for transferring the timber in the morning.

Realising that it would not be there for very long and that this would give me a chance to reserve the space, I therefore started up the Paxton Princess and cruised up and down opposite until, sure enough, the day boat took off and I was able to moor. By this time, the shopkeepers were beginning to take their cars away and so I was also able to use my Range Rover and trailer to reserve a couple of parking places next to the quay for the lorry so as to be well prepared for the morning. back to Heronshaw quite tired after all of the walking backwards and forwards and there to settle down for the night. I had brought the accessories for the TV and commissioned it by tuning into the local frequencies and the reception was very good.
