Working at home today, settling Sam down as I worked in the garage fixing the swimming pool multi-port valve and bolting my mobile gun safe into the Discovery.
Diana lost a further two-and-a-half-pounds at slimming club but Daniel’s untidiness was an issue.
An exciting battle between Kasparov and Nigel Short for the World Chess Championship and the Middle East peace settlement edges ever closer
Not a day for a great deal of achievement as I spent much of it running round after others. Two good walks with Sam, avoiding game for the most part and getting him to lay down whilst I worked in the garage. He did chance upon one pheasant this evening but at close range and almost by accident when coming in and I also made him do some more long water retrieves. My main achievement today was to get the swimming pool multi-port valve properly fixed and to bolt in the mobile gun safe into the Discovery. Now anybody breaking into the car would have to defeat the alarm and overide the ignition cut-out and then drive it off to use an oxyacetylene torch for cutting open the safe or pick the lock.

Apart from holding shotguns, rifle bolts and ammunition, it is also useful for my computer and other things needing security when in the car. Next a tidy up in my office and then around the house of my boxes of tools and accessories so as to give Diana a chance to clean the kitchen and utility room. She went to her slimming club this morning and heard the good news that she had lost a further two-and-a-half-pounds. However, she came back in a depressed state of mind over the housework and untidyness of Daniel's rooms and so I tried to cheer her up. Della and Debbie seemed to have reasonable days at school with Debbie managing to get her pencil case back from the bus driver.
I had to clean out the swimming pool this evening and adjust the chemical levels as I cannot rely upon Daniel to do the job properly. I also had a go at him about the way in which he had left my power tools and did not let him use them for the time being. An exciting battle between Kasparov and Nigel Short for the World Chess Championship as the second game is fought tooth and nail this evening; Nigel having lost the first one on a time penalty. Chancellor Kenneth Clarke is upsetting Tory right-wingers by not ruling out tax increases in the forthcoming budget and the Middle East peace settlement edges ever closer towards a successful conclusion despite the efforts of Israeli extremists to de-rail it.
