I spent most of this rainy day at office preparing for a local by-election and archiving my journal, just venturing out with Sam in waterproofs as the girls go back to school.

A little late to bed last night and then a while getting warm before I could get off to sleep. I was reluctant to get up this morning but made it to breakfast with the others and enjoyed the last of my cereal.

On with the waterproofs and out with the dog for another run across the common and there got Sam to make some good water retrieves with a bit of persuasion. He disobeyed me in crossing the fence onto the road-side verge and swallowing a piece of cling-film sandwich wrapping despite me shouting for him not to. I gave him a leathering on account of it as he could be killed on the road, and he was more compliant afterwards. I used my computer this morning to print out the rest of the canvass cards for the forthcoming Eaton Ford by-election and a big job it was too.
Most of the rest of my time archiving December's journal and starting that for 1993 as a whole. During this afternoon's walk with Sam in the rain at dusk, we disturbed a large Muntjac buck that then scampered across the path. The girls went back to school this morning with no qualms and returned this evening with no worries which was good.
John Major still thrashing around trying to explain his "Back to Basics" theme to colleagues as divisions continue.

Norwich chairman Chase eventually announces the appointment of Dixie Deehan as the new manager for Norwich City as the F.A. look into Everton's role in "poaching" Mike Walker.
