This was another dry but chilly day but good for dog-walking, during which time Sam made progress and did well. I took Diana and the girls with Sam shopping to Peterborough before Daniel left after lunch suffering from a very late night out roller-skating with his friends but met no girls.
I had to get myself up this morning and then get out with the dog whilst Diana had a lay in. It was another dry but chilly day but good for dog-walking. Sam stayed under close control without the lead again first thing but was more playful and independent later, although Debbie managed to control him on her own for another unscheduled walk as well. He was better behaved this morning than other more mature dogs that we met on the walk. His main problem was picking up and eating dog faeces - a disgusting habit that leads to the conclusion that he cannot be getting enough nourishment; but then other factors suggest otherwise. I took Diana and the girls with Sam to Peterborough before lunch to get a sack each of pigeon and fish food.

We shopped at "Jolleye's" which is an "out-of-town" shed that has everything. Lunch a little late as a result and then Daniel left afterwards which was sad. He had a very late night out roller-skating with his friends but met no girls. Even though he does not want to talk about her in front of the girls, he is quite relaxed over Angela. An afternoon resting again but then I did help the family make a delicious batch of fudge and then play a game of chess with Debbie. Later this evening getting things ready against my early morning drive to Norfolk. I paid the gardener and left a list of chores and stowed the collared dove that I had managed to shoot today whilst missing its mate.
