Monday 17th July

Big disappointment. Nomad was due to be put back in the water today but the tractor has broken down with a burned out starter motor. It might not even go in this week.

I bought oranges in the supermarket yesterday. What a fool! More storks. Sometimes they make a click clucking sound like the zombies in World War Z.
