A good morning walk with Sam, following to heel and then with Diana to The Happy Eater for lunch and then to watch some televised Rugby as a break.
Kippers for tea and then over to Nigel for an evening playing on his new snooker table after accepting a drink and signing his Firearm Certificate photograph application. Home quite late but still sat up and read the opening chapters of Nigel's new book on deer stalking in The Highlands.
Della was ill with a cold and could not join me as usual for Sam's Saturday morning walk and so I had my breakfast and then took him on my own. He learnt to walk much better on the lead today and so will almost walk to heel without it which is a big improvement. Took Diana and the girls to The Happy Eater for lunch but had to chase up the supervisor to get served properly. Poor Di is suffering from Diarrhoea at the moment and can spend up to an hour in the toilet at a time! Most of today spent on my paperwork, but I did sit down and watch the TV Rugby International between Wales and England.

The older and more experienced England were just beaten in a close match with the luck going to the enthusiastic and hard-tackling Welsh. Kippers for tea and then over to Nigel for an evening playing on his new snooker table after accepting a drink and signing his Firearm Certificate photograph application. I just managed to beat him by two games to one by a single point in the third game. Home quite late but still sat up and read the opening chapters of Nigel's new book on deer stalking in The Highlands. It seems that May is in the middle of the close season north of the border for red deer but there is provision for crop and tree protection if Fountain Forestry would allow it.
