Dog training day with Sam on Mill Meadow as Diana went to Priory Park with Della this afternoon for "Brownie Revels" as I spend a quiet Day at home.
The latest government row is about potential cuts to the Social Security System as Treasury Minister, Peter Lilley, opens a debate on the subject and fields the whirlwind.
It had been a cooler day with a mixture of sun and showers today as a fresh breeze blew from the north-west
A bit more fun for the dog today as I took the "dummy launcher" across with him to Mill Meadow this evening and have him a half-dozen powered retrieves. He is very keen on the sound of the blanks and the task is to keep him settled down and wait before retrieving rather than running in as the dummy was in the air. I was managing it in the end by keeping my stop whistle in my lips and giving a loud blast to hold him up when the dummy was launched.

The day started with a family breakfast as I went and woke Daniel up with a mug of tea and chat in time to join the rest of us at the table. Debbie must have been on her way across the channel by then and Della was reconciled to her being gone. I took Daniel, his friend Gary, and the rest of us over to the Little Paxton Little Chef for lunch but, even though we arrived soon after noon, the place was quite full and service took a while.
One job I succeeded in doing this afternoon was securing my gun-safe to the bedroom wall and transferring my weapons into it so that I was meeting the legal terms of my license. Diana went to Priory Park with Della this afternoon for "Brownie Revels" but the showers did not spoil their fun.
It had been a cooler day with a mixture of sun and showers today as a fresh breeze blew from the north-west and I had to keep putting Sam's blanket away so that it did not get too wet. Just some televised one-day cricket this evening and my journal to update. The latest government row is about potential cuts to the Social Security System as Treasury Minister, Peter Lilley, opens a debate on the subject and fields the whirlwind.
