Running Sam and then working on Daniel’s boat before off to Norwich for shopping and football which was a poor match with very few goal-scoring opportunities and both Everton and Norwich City's tactics of hoofing the ball forward did not help.
Then a splendid seafood meal at Brummell's Seafood Restaurant. The journey home and there Wiggly was well gone and no trouble to satisfy.
I was not in too much of a hurry to get up this morning, but Sam was whining and needed his run. I took him to the fields opposite Horning village but just exercised him and did not do any training.

I had spoken to Daniel on the telephone last night and offered to look at his speedboat to save him coming up, but it was threatening to rain which made the task the more urgent.
His boat was still floating and so I bailed out the water, pulled it round and then disconnected and lifted out the battery and then struggled with the engine control connections.
Eventually, after a lot of tinkering and physical effort, I freed the engine and then lifted it off out with Wiggly's help. I was pleased and surprised to see how strong and fit she is and I could not have done the job without her.
Breakfast and then the drive into Norwich where I parked at The Riverside Car Park and we took the Park & Ride bus into the city centre. I let her look around a few shops and we ended up at "Beautiful People" where I bought her two jumpers; a casual baggy one and a tight cropped top which I preferred.
Nice pastrami and fat cheese baguettes and a shared piece of bread pudding from the shop next door which we eat sitting at the circular benches in the open air and then the walk and bus back to the car park for the walk to Carrow Road to get a programme and be seated just before kick-off.
It was a poor match with very few goal-scoring opportunities and both Everton and Norwich City's tactics of hoofing the ball forward did not really make it very edifying and it ended up a goal-less draw. Norwich were struggling with some of their best players out injured at this time of the season.
This suited Everton more as they had the better players to head the ball, but when Norwich had the ball to feet and put together passing moves they looked by far the best team. The walk back to the car and the slow drive back through the heavy football traffic with Wiggly taking a turn at the wheel for once.
Another walk for Sam and then time to rest and change before driving back in for our evening meal at Brummell's Seafood Restaurant. Wiggly was struggling with a cold coming on again but I soon got her merry with gin and wine and she relaxed.
She had also forgot to reassemble her bodice and had no straps or suspenders so that I had to find something to act as garters for her stockings! The proprietor was our host and, with few guests due to it being fireworks night, he was ever-present and helped us with our choices.
I enjoyed a starter of six delicious oysters and Wiggly a whole bowlful of mussels. Then some fresh tuna for her whilst I ate three fine grilled herrings. Her Tia Maria milkshake added to her alcohol level whilst I had a Crazy Banana dish and we ended up well satisfied.
The journey home and there Wiggly was well gone and no trouble to satisfy so that we could settle down easily for a much more settled night.
