A misty day with the air full of pollen and so poor Debbie's hay fever is tiresome for her as a result and we were still missing the central heating hot water.
Two good walks with Sam today; plenty of retrieves on land and water and some obedience work to show for it.
Plenty of telephone calls as I kept the various characters in the campaign team on the straight and narrow.
Another nice day but the air still misty and full of pollen and the smell of the oilseed rape opposite. Poor Debbie's hay fever is tiresome for her as a result. Awake early and time with Diana before we stirred and got ready for breakfast.

We had the irritation of finding out that the hot water system had not switched on after the intervention of the gas engineer yesterday so that we had to wash from a basin this morning. Two good walks with Sam today; plenty of retrieves on land and water and some obedience work to show for it. He had eaten up the last of the Repnor Gold and I had to drop by Peterborough to get another couple of bags today with a resolve to increase his meal size now that he has slimmed down again.
We heard today that our target candidate parish councillor Ian Bates was not chosen by the Tory selection committee but that a mystery lady was instead. I briefed John Roscoe on the production of the first by-election leaflet today and got the photo over to the printers for screening. Plenty of telephone calls as I kept the various characters in the campaign team on the straight and narrow.
