Long walks with Sam on a cold and frosty day with frozen puddles and gravel pits, focussing on some launcher dummy training and obedience work.
Then to my office to progress planning matters and to catch up with Freda on the phone. The evening with Daniel trying to update software on my portable computer
The weather continued to get colder and more frosty so that the puddles and some of the open water on the gravel pits was frozen this morning. The forecast was for a large mass of evenly cold continental air to come across the region over the weekend. Thankfully, no disturbances in the night again and so we were even more rested. I took the opportunity of a long walk with Sam in the crisp sunshine and we were able to cross many of the fields that were frozen rather than soggy as of late.

Horning was flooding again as it got colder according to Jack and Doris, as I carried on training Sam at home and working on my financial planning.
Football sadness as all of the national football teams in the United Kingdom were knocked out of The World Cup. Daniel was still popular with his girlfriends.
It was a cold and clear night as the thermometer dropped day by day. The forecast was for even colder weather to arrive over the weekend which made me feel that I should drop into Horning before that. Telephone calls to Jack and Doris told me that the river levels had been right up again on The Broads and all of the properties that had been flooded in Horning a couple of weeks ago were under again yesterday. At least the night had passed peacefully as both Sam and Della were settled.

No chance to catch up with lost sleep as Della had become very ill but Dr Newby of Little Paxton was the duty doctor for St Neots Surgery and he visited and then diagnosed a throat infection but no asthma.
My health screening at The Evelyn Hospital followed and looked good. The evening in looking after Della and helping Debbie with her Biology for a testing examination the next day
Instead of Diana and I getting a chance to catch up on the sleep that Sam had cost us, we were to get even more disturbance in the next night. Della was having soreness and breathing difficulties and became so anxious during the night that she ended up with something that had all the symptoms of an all-out asthma attack. Several times she came in for attention and, in the end, Diana had to sit with her and then woke me up worried again in the early hours wanting to know if she should take Della to the hospital casualty department as she could hardly breathe.

A good run around the gravel pits for Sam after he wakes me up twice during the night and then back to brief the gardener re shredding the rubbish and clearing up the riverside garden. Over to Nigel after Daniel had forgotten to ask him to pass them over some Cambridge Street Planning documents for me to deliver to Pathfinder House later.
There to see his recently imported crate of African sculpture from Kenya. John Major makes an offer to Sein Fein this evening to get their I.R.A. wing to renounce violence, infuriating some of the Ulster Unionists
The weather dry but cold and not a good start to the day as Sam wakes up twice during the night. Whilst he may have been disturbed by Dan coming in after 1.00am, we think the real reason is him getting too cold on damp and scanty bedding. In any case, I gave him some extra bedding on the second occasion, and he seemed all right after that. Tired, therefore, to start the day but I still gave Sam a good run around the gravel pits. The little meadow field (now a stubble field) was still flooded today as the water was high and so we stuck to the footpaths. Back to show the gardener what I had done at the weekend and to ask him to carry on shredding the garden rubbish and clearing up the riverside garden.
