I was up early and walking Sam before leaving for the Broads Authority Planning Committee, dropping Doris off at the Norwich railway station on the way.
I was pleased to get my conditions approved for a Harnser Planning Approval. Walking Sam across Crabbet’s Marsh as the flood water slowly subsided
I was fast asleep until woken by the alarm radio at 7.00am and then up as dawn broke before out with Sam for a run by Horning Church. The water had come up in the night again and, with the gardens flooded, he needed some dry ground to exercise on. A rush to eat breakfast and still get ready to take Doris to Norwich railway station but I was still on time. The journey across the city went well and so I was early for my meeting of The Broads Authority Planning Committee.

I improved my Paxton routine by running Sam before breakfast and then some trouble getting all my tools and things together and then coping with the gardener. I
found the River Bure over the Wroxham car park and then found much of Ropes Hill Dyke and its properties under water due to the tidal surge causing Norfolk floods.
The news full of violence and deaths due to the gun antics of drug barons in London and the Tory Chancellor of the Exchequer remains determined to put VAT on fuel
Awake a little earlier after leaving the curtains open overnight and I therefore managed to walk Sam before breakfast which was a true accomplishment. Then to my office after to take advantage of the extra time to clear my desk and get up to date with bill-paying and administration. Diana was going out for the day but did my packing before she went and so I could then get on.

On another cold and frosty morning after exercising Sam and walking the girls to the school bus stop, the drive to St Ives to get my Theoben air rifle fixed and then completed another working day. Arsenal beat the Dutch cup-holders 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig 3-0 in the first leg of their tie.
Another in the series of cold and frosty mornings but I was out early enough to exercise Sam and still be able to join the girls at the bus stop to wave them off. Daniel and Diana passed us there as well as she dropped off her Fiesta at Hunts Motors for a service and MOT and he collected her afterwards. Some time with the gardener after returning from a long run and I confess to being rather irritated with Bill. He is not getting on with the work and keeps bringing me problems instead of solutions. Today he could not start the shredder having let it deteriorate without getting it fixed.

Visiting Cambridge to meet Di’s parents on another bright and sunny but very cold day and shopping for hats and a scarf for me as well as a pair of Zeiss 8x56 binoculars.
Some time on the mail and updating my journal and then I watched the Norwich City beat Bayern Munich in the football match on TV.
It was another bright and sunny day but very cold at each end of it. I wrapped up well to go out with the dog this morning and took him around the gravel pits. Interesting to see the spiralling clouds of steam wherever he had been to the toilet! A letter of thanks from Jim Bird on my return, still delighted to have been invited along to Scotland with Ben and promising help with Sam's training. Not much time to rest as I had to go straight off to Cambridge with Diana to go shopping and meet her parents.
