After another long training session with Sam, poor Diana woke up with a tummy upset but recovered enough for her slimming club later. Some house maintenance later but shooting trip with Nigel was cancelled.
England duly lost the First Test match against the West Indies, my 4/86 computer was returned from the manufacturers and the evening at Hail Weston House with Nigel, enjoying a nice chat and snooker
I had two long and tiring walks with Sam today; the first involving water work and quartering and the second obedience, retrieving and steadiness to the dummy. It was a little less cold that the last few days but still chilly and unpleasant to be out. Poor Diana awoke with a tummy upset and it continued all day, and it seems that Lynn Smith was ill as well, because Nigel had to cancel our shooting trip that was planned for this afternoon.

I must admit that I was fed up with his continual cancellations and changes of plan and he must have felt guilty about it as well because he phoned again alter and invited me over for a drink and game of snooker to make up for it. Sam improves steadily under the weight of the training efforts that I am making but will always be reluctant to walk to heel properly. Diana improved enough to get out to her slimming club this morning and to do a bit of light shopping and I opted to continue work on the downstairs shower-room.
With the walls sealed, I now concentrated on soaking the loose tiles to soften and then remove the old tile cement by scraping with a chisel. It was a long and tiring job but very worthwhile and I had finished more that half of them by the end of the day. England duly lost the First Test match against the West Indies and now have the next one-day match to look forward to. My 4/86 computer was returned from the manufacturers today and Daniel brought it home at lunch-time and set it up for Della to play "Sam & Max" in the evening.
Both her and Debbie had a good day at school. The evening at Hail Weston House with Nigel, enjoying a nice chat about things and with better form at snooker to share the games one all. I helped a young musician on the way who had driven off the road into a ditch. I let him use my mobile telephone to summon recovery help and inform his fellow musicians and unhappy father, whose car he had damaged!
