Working day at home before leaving for Norfolk via an overnight stay with Wiggly who was fretting about work pressures and another infection.
The project for today was to get my financial summary to April up to date and ready for printing-out which was quite a chore.

I did it in the end but was conscious of the fact that expenditure exceeded the return on investments at the moment. As Sam would not be getting much attention later, I also took him for a couple of good runs so as to make up for it.
He ran well under control and is much better about greeting other dogs these days. In the early evening, I gathered Sam up and took off in the car to go and see Wiggly, buying her a bunch of pink carnations, three red roses, a new bottle of Port and another bottle of wine as offerings on the way.
I got there before she had returned from work, changed and put the kettle on to greet her but she arrived in disarray after a bad day. First her work pressures were getting to her as she had a conflict in trying to do several things in a short time.
Then she had come home via the doctor intending to have a simple cervical smear but had been diagnosed with another infection which needed a course of antibiotics which meant that she could have no alcohol for the next seven days.
She had not been home after last night's firm's outing to the "Medieval Banquet" and had stayed with a female friend so she had not got the cards that I had put through her door.
I tried also to cushion the fact of a critical letter about her in the local press, but we had a misunderstanding when she thought I said something I am sure I did not and so told me to "Fuck Off" and stormed upstairs!
I just sat in her lounge and read a newspaper until she calmed down and came back to see me rather sheepishly and then we made up and spent the evening at the Caxton Gibbet Chinese Restaurant and enjoyed ourselves.
Just a cuddle and affectionate night together as she was conscious of her infection. I used her computer to print out my investment summaries during the evening as well.
