Torin’s birthday. A difficult day because he never enjoyed it, never knowing how he would feel and you are “supposed” to celebrate that day. Sometimes his depression was too bad. We will do that today, celebrate his life.

Ellie and I went out at 5.30.

We met a lady with an English Setter, the dog is totally mental! If it saw another dog, it just sits down, be it in the middle of the road or anywhere. I told her about the experiences we had with the Setter we had, another one totally mental! I swore I would never have a Setter again.

Lou, Rhys, Oscar and Josie came round and brought flowers for Torin’s grave. We took them round there along with a stone carp Mal and I had bought him. He was a champion carp fisherman, often appearing in the Carp News.

We then walked to The Crispin and had our lunch and a toast to Torin. It’s a “Daniel” thing historically that we always toast those who have left us with Guiness first! We all had Caribbean food.

Mal and I sat out in the garden in the evening and as it began to get dark and the solar lights came on, we started to see the snails and slugs appearing!! So now I know who is munching away my sunflowers! We collected 9 snails and 7 slugs and deposited them across the road!

Thought for the Day – “Never stop believing in hope because miracles happen every day.”
