A personal story
More than 40 years, told day by day
Enjoying a lunch of roasted Canard Savage after the family had left and I had spent time training Sam and then the evening watching Rugby League on the TV.
The weather continued with mist and fog overnight only clearing to give warm sunshine in the afternoon and so I again delayed my walk with Sam.

After another tough night suffering with a cold and bronchial infection, resolving to work with Diana to deal with our difficult daughters. Then a quiet day of catching up and dog training at Molesworth who found a pheasant, two hares and a rabbit.
News today of the Loyalist Paramilitary forces in Ulster announcing their cease-fire to take place from midnight tonight.
According to Diana, my snoring was not so bad last night; having been terrible the night before. In truth, I am still suffering greatly with this cold which is more by way of a bronchial infection that seems to affect the lungs very badly.

After a good morning walk with Sam on Little Meadow managing a good blind fetch with the distraction of anglers and finally the longest ever memory retrieve.
News of plans regarding the Little Paxton nature reserve as I spend an otherwise quiet day catching up and watching England struggle against a World Cup Quarter Finalists Romanian football team and only just manage to draw the game 1-1.

I was awoken early again today in my bid to be ready in time for breakfast with the children but again my cold got the better of me. I waited until later to take the dog out in the hope that the fog would clear but it stayed with us all morning.

To Cambridge with Di to see her parents on another fine and sunny day after morning fog.
Successful shooting morning and afternoon, returning home with a drake and hare and then evening obedience dog training as the girls come home with good school reports and Wiggly collects her car and goes to her first pantomime rehearsal.
The Tory plan to avoid discussing Europe at the Party Conference by leaving out any motions or debate on the subject was blown apart.

To Addenbrookes Clinic with Diana who got a clean bill of health and then lunch together before on to Bedford cinema with Diana to see the tear-jerking film, "Forest Gump", which we both enjoyed then a tired evening of libido failure with Wiggly.
As the Tories gather in Bournemouth, the row deepens over Margaret Thatcher's son, Mark, who made his fortune from arms dealing commissions whilst his mother was in office.

Another very passionate if very late night with Wiggly and then off to Molesworth with Sam discussing pigeon control with Robert Ward before a long session reassuring Wiggly after having to leave.
A session at home at The Hayling View cleaning the car and resting with Diana who was worried about her health.
I was comfortably asleep under the large and warm duvet when Wiggly got back around 4.30am, smelling of lager and looking obviously friendly! She stripped off and soon our naked bodies were in bed together.
