A personal story
More than 40 years, told day by day
Working day at home before leaving for Norfolk via an overnight stay with Wiggly who was fretting about work pressures and another infection.
The project for today was to get my financial summary to April up to date and ready for printing-out which was quite a chore.

On a mild but damp day, off to Kimbolton School Prep Department for Della's last Prep Carol Service and financial paperwork working on my Investment Summary for the end of April 1994
Another mild day with spitting rain morning and night for my walks with Sam.

After tussling with the Mill Lane roadworks, a poor but jovial Christmas Lunch with Di's parents and playing my ‘nail through the finger’ joke on all and sundry. Then satisfying evening with Wiggly taking her measurements for the record.
The weather continues exceedingly mild and, though it is dull and dreary with little daylight at this time of year, at least my dog walks are comfortable.

Leaving Horning for Eynesbury to drop off Wiggly and then on to Paxton for Sunday lunch and Christmas Tree set-up with Diana and the girls.
Nigel has a traumatic experience threatened by a former employee and Jim is getting disillusioned with his whining dog Ben.
News of a growing crisis as a breakaway republic of Russia is threatened by surrounding tanks and troops.
Up early and out with Sam for a walk across the fields before back to do a mountain of washing up and get ready for breakfast. Wiggly was very tired this morning and reluctant to get up even after I took her up a cup of tea.

Up early for the drive to Norfolk with Wiggly for her Xmas shopping trip whilst I watched Norwich beat Chelsea with their new signing from Crewe, Ashley Ward, in the starting line-up scoring two goals.

I was expecting a challenge to get out early this morning but I awoke at 6.30am and was able to get quickly shaved, dressed and out with Sam in time to get over the river bridge before it was closed for roadworks at 7.00am.

Liaising with the Wroxham builders and walking Sam before returning to St Neots to spend lunch with a quiet and contemplative Wiggly at The Bedford Arms in Souldrop.
This before going home to put up the Christmas Lights and welcome Diana for a meal at McDonalds and then on to the cinema to see "Miracle on 42nd Street"; a remake of the old film.
I awoke at 7.00am and tried to get washed, breakfasted and dressed before the workmen came at 8.00am but failed miserably.
