Around mid-morning I took young Matthew Blakiston into the Swindon Hospital to see John. We stayed there for an hour or so then went back out to Grove House where I made a start on pulling down an old, disused shed.
After lunch I finished the job and cleaned up then had a beer and a snooze for the rest of the afternoon. I went back in to see John in the evening and later, after tea, shot 2 rabbits out in the field behind the house with John’s shotgun.
