A troubled drive from Horning to Kimbolton for Della's Sports Day on a hot day made bearable by the northerly breeze. Home to walk Sam and complete some paperwork before taking Diana out to see a poor film
I had stayed up very late tidying up after my disappointment with the new navigational interface and so, though tired this morning, at least I had a head start on getting ready to leave. I still telephoned the manufacturers and ascertained that it was a faulty interface that they would exchange under warranty. A long run and meal for Sam, the remainder of my packing and then set off, filling up with petrol in Wroxham on the way.

The journey was not too bad but there was a lot of traffic about and then bad roadworks in two places to delay me. Arrived in Paxton at exactly mid-day, having telephoned ahead twice, leaving messages on Diana's answering machine expecting to meet her for lunch. Arrived to find she had already left and so ate some poor sandwiches, drank tea and went through my mail and telephone messages until it was time to leave. Arrived just in time to see all the children from Kimbolton Preparatory School file out "Indian-fashion" in a long crocodile to the far side of the sports field.
It was a very warm and sunny afternoon, the northerly breeze just making it bearable. We saw Della compete in her two races but she was disappointed not to get placed. The presentations and then I came home via St Neots so as to be able to pay in a number of cheques and attend to my motor insurance before coming home to join the others for tea. More food and exercise for Sam who always travels well and adjusts to his new home with little fuss and bother. I then took Diana and the girls to see a film in Bedford. Totally forgettable and poorly done but at least the others enjoyed it and it was a family evening out together for once.
