Another good training day with Sam at manor Farm. Depressing England cricket performance as Diana had her hospital appointment with the gynaecologist this morning and awaits test results and I cheered her up by taking her for lunch afterwards at the Brampton Garden Centre. A very poor England Test side lose hopelessly to the West Indies
The weather was quite Spring-like after overnight rain, but I still had to persuade Bill to do some gardening this morning by spending time showing him all the things that needed doing when he just wanted to go home. Some more water-work with Sam, which was still ragged, but I was now developing a technique of standing off of him which seems to stop him hunting around before entering. Up to Manor Farm in the afternoon and some fair hunting from him.

Even if he was inclined to hunt too far forward of me, he was obeying my signals and staying under control. The Molesworth hares are beginning to recognise our arrival in the Land Rover and I can see them running away into the distance instead of sitting which makes Sam's job easier. Diana had her hospital appointment with the gynaecologist this morning and agreed to have a scrape test of her womb and we will just have to wait the two weeks to find out the cause and hope that it is not cancer or a condition needing a hysterectomy. I cheered her up by taking her for lunch afterwards at the Brampton Garden Centre where we had some nice soup and cake. A depressing session of television watching a very poor England Test side lose hopelessly to the West Indies.
