A personal story
More than 40 years, told day by day
After another warm and unbearable night, a walk with Sam. Then off from Eynesbury to Horning via Redgrave spending time with Alf and contacting tradesmen and others about the work we need to do to the property.
The night was warm and unbearable again which, with the poor ventilation in Wiggly's house, meant that we just laid naked all night with no covers and no sexual activity as it was too hot.
Awake with me getting the morning tea and mail for us to read. Wiggly was grumping about having to reprint the St Neots Branch Agendae and having also missed the council mail anyway.
I also got in trouble for trying to empathise with the needs of the woman next door after we had taken over the garden washing line!
A walk with Sam together and then it was time to get packed up ready to leave. Wiggly transferred the Redgrave software and data across to my portable computer with some difficulty and then we eventually set off before lunchtime.
It started very hot and humid again and we both wore shorts. Time at Barton Mills for a salad roll, mug of tea and a bun each whilst Sam had a walk and pee and then we got back in and arrived at Redgrave just after lunch.
An active afternoon, contacting tradesmen and others about the work we need to do to the property. I also spent time with Alf reassuring him about the plans we had and surveying the garden to see where to relocate the fences to.
Also spoke to the Parish Clerk but would have to wait for the District Councillor. Wiggly managed to speak to the leader of the LibDems that control Mid-Suffolk Council and we appear to be able to achieve a favourable and fair hearing for any development proposals that we have.
We left Redgrave in late afternoon, drove right on to Horning after stopping to shop in Wroxham and then I took Sam for a much-deserved walk whilst Wiggly made us a salad tea.
We worked on our business plans together and then went over to The New Inn for a couple of pints.
A Bournevita and banana last thing and then, after I had typed in these last two days journal, we went to bed hoping that the much cooler air would allow us to get a sounder rest for the night.
After a horrifically warm and humid night the weather was still very warm and humid all day. To the cinema to watch film, "First Knight" with Della and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Chairing a poorly-attended evening's strategy LibDem meeting
It was a horrifically warm and humid night such that it was impossible to use the bedclothes and I had trouble sleeping.

My negotiations for No2 West Street and Mr David Knight’s parking and potential building of a garage next door.
Lunch with Wiggly at The Falcon and out for the evening to see the 1920's musical "Boyfriend" in Cambridge and a walk in the humid sultry air along to a pub by the Granta for a drink.
Up latish and then, whilst Wiggly set of for Colnworth, and was having another tiring round of job negotiations, I fielded and made telephone calls on property matters.

Wiggly formally presented her resignation letter this morning and had an understanding ally in colleague Alex whose career had also been mishandled by Unilever. My advice was to go back to what she wanted to do.
Wiggly formally presented her resignation letter this morning, putting the cat amongst the pigeons but they would not let her go straight away.

Wiggly was all set on resigning her job with Unilever today after resignation and giving her a nonsense job in the meantime.
Upon telling her Mum she had a screaming fit and slammed the telephone down which only led to more tears and upset on what was a most difficult day for her.
Wiggly failed to get sense out of Unilever today who refused to release her on a paid basis for a year to find a job after her redundancy and, to add insult to injury, gave her a nonsense job in the meantime in pretence of being able to use her efforts properly.

Horning to Eynesbury via Redgrave, discussing a detailed summary of intended plans for Redgrave with Freda and Alf .
We needed the full night's sleep and were refreshed as a result.
