A personal story
More than 40 years, told day by day
Some time with Sam looking at his paw early today and then off to Pathfinder House with the Eynesbury postal and proxy vote forms before the deadline.
The Tories are in disarray with their Leader, Derek Holley, going and their deputy, Mike Robertson is likely to lose his election in Huntingdon and their next most-senior member, Pree Newbon, is convinced she is going to lose to us in St Ives!
Off to Carrow Road with Wiggly to see Norwich lose and to our motel for the night, The Breckland Lodge.
A hectic day of activity but Sam got his attention anyway with two walks from me.

Della and I joined Diana for the trip to Cambridge, where I did some chores, with Debbie staying at home to do some revision.
Later to help organise the evening's efforts to finish getting the rest of Eynesbury's Postal and Proxy votes. This was troublesome and time-consuming.
Wiggly, who only wanted to make love, ended up in tears with tiredness, stress and frustration but I consoled her

After a night disturbed by false alarms, down for breakfast and to exchange messages with Wiggly.
A day canvassing for her with others in Eynesbury and Priory policy meeting to follow. Late home after making love to Wiggly
I was quite groggy again this morning which was mostly down to the trouble of adjusting to European times but was also due to being woken up at 4.00am by one of our smoke detectors going off and setting the alarm sirens wailing.

After staying away with Wiggly and shopping for plants and pots, I dropped her home and planned some canvassing, I went home to find the house in disarray but with Diana having visited the doctor for some antibiotic and the daughters having slept in to recover from jetlag. The evening copying across and updating my journal entries
A nice breakfast in the hotel restaurant and then having checked out, we took Sam for another walk up a bridle path where many other handlers were walking their dogs and Sam was by far the better trained of them.

I was still heavily jet-lagged and therefore wideawake in the early hours but then spent several hours working at my desk and going through my papers and assessing the state of the campaign Chores which was not to bad.
Then away to collect Sam from Lincoln with Wiggly to spend the weekend together. We had a drink at the outside tables of a pub by Brayford Pool in the evening sun before checking in to the Marriot Hotel for the night.
It was not a satisfactory night. First, I was still heavily jet-lagged and therefore wideawake in the early hours and secondly, I was worried about Wiggly's rejection of campaigning and my own ready acceptance of other priorities.
