Angry at an abortive shooting lesson in Thetford expected to be with Nigel on Statute Fair day, but more fun with my children and their friends.
During the day, I had adjusted some door catches and handles, paid some bills and watched European Football on TV until time to take the dog out again.
Up early and out with the dog, anticipating my trip with Nigel to Thetford for a shooting lesson but I was to be disappointed. First Nigel called twice whilst I was out with the dog and said that he could not come and then I found out that the instructor, for some unknown reason, was expecting us yesterday and so, not only did I not have a companion, but I could not go at all! I was not very amused and will consider finding somewhere else for my shooting practice as the whole experience put me right out. A brighter and milder day than of late but it still showered during the middle of it and then turned cold and nasty again in the evening, ready for our trip to The Kimbolton "Statty Fair".

We had arranged to take the girls and a couple of friends and also gave Daniel £10 for him to have some fun with Jason and Gary as well. The girls enjoyed the trip; each taking a friend (Amy Law for Debbie and Katie Morris for Della) for which I also paid as I knew that their families were struggling financially. Inflation seems to have really hit the fairground business hard; most rides being £1 for just a very few minutes so that you could easily spend £20 on a party of four in an hour. During the day, I had adjusted some door catches and handles, paid some bills and watched European Football on TV until time to take the dog out again.
