Mon. 9th Jan., 2017.

Dog Humber bank first thing as everyday currently. Cleaned floor kitchen and back room as so difficult to keep clean once long-haired dog has waded through mud, and me. Made number of telephone calls re arrangements for two church study days planned, having got contact info from internet. Updating preparing files, increasing in number by the day. Collected R. before lunch. Made Lancashire hotpot for tea. Large swirling flock of starlings have returned to the reed-bed opposite. Gulls drifting inland, geese flocking inland, starlings setting-off and buzzard coursing all seen from bank am.

Forgot to mention last Sat am at Wilderspin official launch of Ted. Lewis exhibition. Went ok.
