A personal story
More than 40 years, told day by day
Sam completed his first Novice Field Trial without any disasters to avoid elimination and I was pleased, but he had no game to point and retrieve.
I arrived back late to let Diana have the house to herself for her sister-in-law and cousins and dropped in to see Wiggly who was still in need of support over her present problems.
This was the most significant day so far for Sam's working career for I had entered him in his first Novice Field Trial and I was not sure that he was really ready.

Free Day at home after taking Diana for a meal out to Brackenbury's after she was upset at me delivering a round of FOCUS leaflets with Wiggly's photograph in the middle as it added insult to injury!
Two great sessions with Sam with much quartering on the common and I also sent him right across the widest point of the Great Ouse ready for our first Field Trial tomorrow.
Sein Fein meetings with the expectation that these will become formal talks after Christmas when the three months of cease-fire have passed
I had complaints from Diana this morning not only about me being restless in bed but also about me attending LibDem meetings anyway.

Returning to the custom of visiting Cambridge with Diana to see her parents and looking at bedding.
Then working Sam at Molesworth Manor Farm and pleased with his hunting performance before a frustrating St Neots Branch LibDem meeting where Ross McKay was expelled from the group.
Labour leader Tony Blair is set on ending the party pledge for public ownership and in an historic judgement, a group of Lloyds Insurance Names have won £500m damages for negligence against the underwriters which is in effect themselves!
I decided to join Diana for her trip to Cambridge today as I had not seen her parents for some time and I had spent a lot of time away. First, I gave Sam as long a walk as I could and took him across the scrub land by the gravel pits.

Paperwork, afternoon cinema with Diana to see an exciting adventure film called "Speed". Watching a poor evening TV football match prior to a distressing call from Wiggly who had been waiting for my call and for whom everything had been going wrong.
The Labour Party Conference opens with a row over union block votes, and much is expected of the Labour Leader, Tony Blair.
I had gone to bed early last night, thinking to catch up on my sleep with a cold coming on, but I tossed and turned and could not get comfortable.

A full training day at Eastwick with Sam doing quite well in his work but grumbling at other dogs. This, after quiet night with Wiggly and then driving with her to Cambridge back to a car reluctant to start. Back exhausted to a Diana depressed with the girls behaviour
I tried very hard with Wiggly this morning, but either I was tired, distracted by a range of worries, or put off by the period, cap and condom for I just could not make it with her for the first time.

Walking Sam and Wiggly overcame her car problems and cold and then joined me for some Wroxham shopping before we ate at Olivers and went to Carrow Road to watch Norwich Football beat Blackburn Rovers 2-1. This evening to watch "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie" at the Theatre Royal
Wiggly was full of her cold and came to me after another catalogue of work and car problems but put a brave face on things and enjoyed her meal and night.
