I awoke to another warm day but the forecast is not good with showers expected.

There was a minor accident at Sadlers Farm roundabout and it appeared that Lottie's mum (one of our neighbours) had gone into the back of another car.

I tweeted and posted details on facebook about the Kids for a Quid at the Lakeside Hammers  on Saturday that Ruggles & Jeffery is sponsoring. We've had some interest in our company on the back of it and our name has gone out to thousands of people. The emails from the last 2 days seem to have been well received.

Was very tired by the time I got in. Luc did an excellent piece of homework on Roman numerals and then played outside with his friends.

Julie cooked a whole chicken in herbs which she casseroled on the hob. It tasted very nice.


Watched Outnumbered on TV and the children in the programme are so like ours.

I woke up to another beautiful sunny morning. I even enjoyed putting the black rubbish bags out for collection!

There is yet another change to the layout at Sadlers farm roundabout but I still can't see how all the work will actually improve things.

I wrote and sent out lots of emails to local schools and our clients about the Lakeside Hammers Kids 4 A Quid initiative that Ruggles & Jeffery is sponsoring today.


I met Luc and Julie at the Lighthouse Centre at lunchtime and we were able to report to the doctor that Luc is behaving a lot better and life is a lot better. Luc is, however, feeling a bit poorly which may be a side-effect of his medication. Luc doesn't have to go back for 6 months.

I read an article on line by Dan walker about Avram Grant (the ex Chelsea, Portsmouth and West Ham manager) and his return to Auschwitz and his Polish home. Avram is Jewish and his family suffered atrocities under the Nazis during the second world war. I tweeted about it and got a reply from respected and hard working journalist at Talk Sport, Ian Abrahams (Talk Sport).

I filtered the pool and added chlorine and after dinner watched Silk and an old but entertaining episode of Outnumbered on television.

I woke up to another lovely day.

I had to call into the office before going toThree Rivers Golf & Country Club in Cold Norton, Essex to give a Marketing Presentation to the Ruggles & Jeffery Board, this morning. I think I did quite well. Three Rivers Golf & Country Club is a beautiful place set in the Essex countryside and very luxurious. By the time I had completed my presentation, the weather had warmed up even more and it was an absolutely glorious day. Just the weather for spending time outdoors but I had to go back into the office.

Stopped off for a coke at the very excellent Country Produce Store on the road to North Fambridge. Enjoyed the drive back to the office.

The feedback from my presentation was really good so it's been one of my best working days ever that hasn't involved alcohol, the RCN or shenanigans!


Luc had his school disco this evening and I met him afterwards. He'd had a great time and has made friends with Jake again.


The evening was great as I watched an episode of Jonathan Creek on tele.
