Picture of a boat on Wroxham Broad, taken on a brief visit this week. Doncaster have achieved promotion to the Championship by beating Leeds at Wembley, which is good on two counts: (a) Doncaster No 3 Gareth “Gazza” Roberts is Dot’s cousin’s son, who my son claims to have taught how to play; and (b) Leeds lost. Searched in vain for father Adrian on TV match report.

Last night we went to visit my nephew Joe and his wife Birgit for a drink and spent a pleasant couple of hours there, agreeing on most things. His father and mother are in Southampton visiting their other son after attending Joy’s brother’s funeral in Scarborough. Not sure how long they’ll be away.

Today not as much rain as anticipated. Wrote a piece for my website, then Dot and I went to the supermarket, only find that the rest of Norwich had decided to do the same thing at roughly the same time. Still managed to get home in time for a “healing” session with Diane and felt relaxed afterwards. I don’t think it’s healing in the sense of curing, but in the sense of blessing – creating healthy and balanced feelings.

Briefly – now 10.15pm and we’re about to leave for Caddington. Have just beaten Antonov in quite a hard game. Dot will drive.
