By now the old building of Heronshaw was nearly down. All of the roof was gone, also the bungalow walls, leaving the boathouse underneath the old dwelling itself.

This morning, the men were demolishing the "L-shaped" front and struggling with the quite huge timbers that spanned the dyke. I gave Sam a walk and then went out to remove some nails from salvable timber and helped move the largest beam.
garden was quite a mess but Sam was all right in his kennel and run; even if he did whine and want to be involved. Into Wroxham for a rest, a paper, some lunch and supplies for tea and then back to walk Sam once more. I had put the boat battery chargers on and checked that the de-humidifier and background heaters were doing their jobs.
Mr. Hurrell of Wroxham Builders called round at my request, and we chatted about the job of replacing Heronshaw. He estimates £10,000 for the piling, £10,000 for the roof in thatch (£2,000 in tiles) and between £40,000 and £50,000 for the building making some £60,000 to £70,000 in all.
He agreed to draw up some plans sufficiently detailed to estimate more closely and apply for building control approval so that a structural engineer can approve a piling plan. A quiet evening of washing up, having a bath and then sitting to watch the news and a little TV.
The Chancellor announced his micro-Budget today and it was full of pique and retaliation with Kenneth Clarke still smarting over his House of Commons defeat. He has put up duties on alcohol, tobacco and petrol to maintain his policy of piling on indirect taxes to make room for income tax cuts before the next election.
Good news as Norwich City signs a new striker, Ashley Ward, who will play against Chelsea on Saturday. Though from the Second Division at Crewe, he is the third-best scorer in that division and has scored more goals than the whole team at Norwich this year.
An appalling knife attack on the staff and shoppers in a Birmingham store leaves several with serious neck lacerations but the madman is captured by two policemen.
The Managing Director of the Lyme Bay Activity Centre where several children died in a tragic canoeing accident has been jailed for three years for manslaughter as he ignored advice to get qualified instructors.
