Taking the Discovery for some remedial work in Norwich and shopping and lunch with Daniel in Lowestoft.
This evening making up some permanent mooring ropes for The Paxton Princess in the new boathouse.
The Tory party is now in all sorts of trouble over the controversial nature of its funding by private and overseas sponsors
Late to bed and then late to rise this morning in consequence. I still managed to sneak my breakfast before getting out with Sam and I had quite an eventful walk with him. He greeted Arthur Edmund's old dog rather too enthusiastically whilst I paid his owner for some recent work and then did the same with another old dog that its lady owner had to shield from her. I therefore took Sam in hand for his evening walk and kept him under close control and made him walk to heel much more than of late.

In between times, I took my new Land Rover Discovery back to Mann Egerton for some adjustments and then collected Daniel in a loan car and took him to Lowestoft where I got the latest Wash Ports Chart for myself and a full tool kit for Dan. This was my presnt to him passing his degree and to put him in good shape for the future. This was a nice interlude and we had lunch together at McDonalds there as well. This evening making up some permanent mooring ropes for The Paxton Princess in the new boathouse. I could therefore moor this boat "stern-in" and found room for The Jolly at the river end to one side of the bows.
This took me up to dark and so I came in to catch up on two days' washing up and then took a bath and full shave before completing today's journal and retiring to bed around midnight. A warm and muggy day that was dry for the most part but then this gave way to stormy showers later. England continued to be given the hammer in the test and the Tory party is now in all sorts of trouble over the controversial nature of its funding by private and overseas sponsors and whether they get anything for their money.
