Up, and this day begun, the first day this year, to put off my linnen waistcoat, but it happening to be a cool day I was afraid of taking cold, which troubles me, and is the greatest pain I have in the world to think of my bad temper of my health.
Samuel Pepys puts up with pain that would send most of us running to the A and E department of the local hospital but he just takes it in his stride. At our event below was parked a high dependence ambulance nobly staffed by volunteers.
Today is Saturday, 8 July and the day when all the good folk of Midsomer Norton enjoy themselves at the annual summer fayre. I have nothing particularly profound to share with anyone today. I have written before that local events need certain basic features in place and we certainly came up to the mark here.
I had an interesting chat with a young man who was showing Eagles. I commented that they had better eyesight than we did. He said that if we had sight as good as they, we could stand on top of a ten story building and see an ant moving on the ground.
