This was a good day's work & I walked from Cranleigh & have all but regained my normal condition. Passing three suspicious cows with tiny calves I asked 'And how are your charming children?' Laura a good deal better & working on friendship recommendation. Slang dictionary & Disraeli novels came. Important decision about cheese pending: financing British cheese business. I now hit target at least once a day: all the arrows of different weight, length & twist.
