A personal story
More than 40 years, told day by day
Sam for a walk along the Crabbett's Marsh sawdust road doing some good obedience work and then leisurely time in Norwich before taking Di and the girls to see The Lion King in Cromer cinema
A leisurely start to the day, myself tired after the activities of yesterday and the day before and Di recovering from the food and wine of last night. I took Sam for a walk along the Crabbett's Marsh sawdust road and did some good obedience work with him.

To Burnham Market for an eventful training Sam with Martin Sullivan and then on to Horning to host Diana for a few days with dinner with Gerry at Mr Chann's
Up and then the journey to Martin Sullivan's caravan near Burnham Market. I had not received the map and instructions on how to get there due to the vagaries of the postal service again but eventually found the site and met up with Martin and his family.

Unsatisfactory sex with Diana early and Wiggly late but a better session with Sam retrieving well before leaving Hayling View for half-term break in Norfolk to host Diana
I slept well-enough but still woke a little early as I was not yet used to the time change.

From London to Paxton after witnessing congestion from the tunnelling fiasco was causing problems with an office block now in danger of collapsing.
A call also to Wiggly, sorting out a date for Monday night, only to find her depressed again after a poor weekend visit of her brother with whom she argued.
British Summer Time ended and the clocks were put back from 2.00am to 1.00am in the middle of the night; giving us another hour's sleep and lay in.

Our first trip to Thorpe Park in Chertsey in the sun and showers with Diana having a tantrum over the girls arguing and me not seeming to be enjoying the break wholeheartedly.
Daniel joined us to collect Debbie and then and then the rest of us over to a nearby "Harvester" restaurant for a meal before settling down for the night.
It was a troubled start to the day as Diana had a tantrum after we had all used the bathroom. The trigger was the running arguments between the two girls but she was also upset with me not seeming to be enjoying the break wholeheartedly.

To London for the start of my weekend with Di and the girls as Daniel looked after Sam. Tunnelling for the new extension to The Bakerloo Line had gone horribly wrong and underground collapses put paid to a lot of road access to Terminal 3.
Checked into the The Heathrow Marriott Hotel before off to The West End to spend the evening watching a performance of Agatha Christie's "The Mousetrap" in its 42nd year.
News of a knee-jerk reaction from the Israeli Government who have retaliated to the bus bomb attack in Tel Aviv by shelling a Gaza community with anti-personnel ammunition.
I took trouble walking Sam this morning as he was going to be in the hands of Daniel for the next few runs. Up early and out with him after breakfast, running him through hedgerows and cover and also giving him some retrieves to improve his game-holding and delivery.
