Leaving Horning for Eynesbury to drop off Wiggly and then on to Paxton for Sunday lunch and Christmas Tree set-up with Diana and the girls.
Nigel has a traumatic experience threatened by a former employee and Jim is getting disillusioned with his whining dog Ben.

Up early and out with Sam for a walk across the fields before back to do a mountain of washing up and get ready for breakfast. Wiggly was very tired this morning and reluctant to get up even after I took her up a cup of tea.

She did help me once she was up and vacuumed the place. I eventually packed and got everything in the car and the property locked up and alarmed so that I could leave for Paxton.
Apart from filling up with petrol, I had to do the journey in one go and could not stop for a cup of tea which did not please Wiggly. I made it up for her with petting her in the car as we drove along and damn nearly got her to climax but not quite!
Had to drop her off in rather indecent haste and felt guilty again at having to love her and leave her, particularly as she seemed to be a bit put out.
I called her later and found that she was fine and had a good afternoon catching up on things. I got back home just in time for Diana's usual Sunday lunch of roast chicken for which Daniel's friends Gary Skinner & Gary Brock joined us.
Over to see Nigel afterwards to collect the corner display cabinet he had obtained for me. This then taken back and put into its intended position, we could then install the Christmas Tree in front of it so that Della and her friend Catherine could dress it with decorations that we had gathered over many years.
A walk and feed for Sam before settling him down in his kennel for the night and then TV football and tea in the lounge. This evening catching up on this last couple of days' journal and telephoning my friends.
Nigel had a nasty experience as an aggrieved former employee came and broke down his door with a friend and threatened him so that he ran upstairs and armed himself with a loaded shotgun to defend himself.
He told me that he would have shot to kill if approached so that there would have been no witnesses and no argument which seems excessive to me and a worry as I normally sign his shotgun license applications.
Jim had been disappointed with his dog show entry with Ben on Friday, being eliminated without a place card and rosette. He is now getting very disillusioned with Ben and his habitual whinging and may have to get rid of him.
