Into St Neots for some chores on a rainy day and to bring back Katie Morris from there for Della to play with. With Daniel having his friend Jason round today; when Debbie got home from school and it was time to go out to lunch, I had a party of seven to pay for at The Happy Eater!
Our second by-election leaflet copy ready is ready and I took Diana over to the LibDem Social at 2 Woodlands where Linda Favargue was our hostess for a fund-raising event.
Sam had a decent run this morning and some exposure to blanks being fired. Somebody is keen to keep us out of the riverside copse as now broken glass is put down to add to the barbed wire,
I let Diana go into St Neots this morning and do some chores for me and some shopping for her. She got a pair of my sporting corduroys cleaned, some more cash from the building society and tried to get another lens for my watch but they did not have one. She also took Della into the library and found Katie Morris there and was so pleased that she brought her back to play at The Hayling View for the day.

What with Daniel having his friend Jason round today; when Debbie got home from school and it was time to go out to lunch, I had a party of seven to pay for at The Happy Eater! Sam had a decent run this morning and some exposure to blanks being fired before being asked to do some retrieves. He fetched both thrown and launched dummies but gets quite excited for lack of this experience and is difficult to control.
I sorted through a few things this morning and more this afternoon in preparation for our trip to Scotland on Monday. I got help in fitting the roof box and then loaded the car with essentials. Despite thinking of giving the Surrey Working Test a miss on Sunday through lack of readiness, I now plan to go provided I can get back at a reasonable time
. Some contact with John Roscoe today and Mark Rainer over trying to get the second by-election leaflet copy ready and then I took Diana over to the LibDem Social at 2 Woodlands where Linda Favargue was our hostess for a fund-raising event. This was quite well-attended and quite fun to be at but, then of course, Diana does not like any kind of social event. I was pleased to see that they were raising so much for FOCUS and the LibDem party.
I was disappointed to hear whilst there that Stuart Littlewood had resumed writing the divisive letters again; this time referring to the way in which David Hunter was reluctant to invite me to the St Ives meeting until persuaded. The rain was disappointing today, coming in heavy showers so that it was virtually impossible to avoid them with Sam. Even though his eye is slow to heal, I got him to do some swimming this afternoon.
The extent to which somebody is keen to keep us out of the riverside copse is quite extreme. Now broken glass is put down to add to the barbed wire and I am virtually sure that somebody must be spying on us as we go for our walks. I will be glad to be exercising him elsewhere for the next couple of weeks.
