I had warned Lynda that I would probably sleep in, and I didn't disappoint her. I was awake at 9am but didn't get up until 10, when Lynda brought me a cup of tea and needed something out of my room. I had cereal for breakfast and Dave taught me the dangers of the dishwasher.
Lynda took Andrew to a birthday party in the forest with bikes, and Dave started chainsawing firewood. I had a walk in the village, which is lovely, and then spent some time on their broadband. Lynda came home at about 2pm, I made myself some lunch (another wrap) and we headed off to Ely. She had to do some shopping, and so we agreed to meet at the cathedral at 4/4.15. I walked towards the river, only finding one real estate agent with no rental properties. The river was lovely, with lots of narrowboats, and a bridge, and ducks and swans. There was duck food on sale at the Maltings and lots of families walking around. I read about the Ely eels on a tourist board.
I walked back up the other side of Waterside St to the town, finding one estate agent with good cheap rent, one other with expensive rent, and signs on properties for two other agents I couldn't find shopfronts for. By now it was 4pm so all the agents were closing and the markets were packing up. I had one more search for the elusive Keeley Associates and Whitfield Group but with no luck. I was quite annoyed that I'd run out of time, but I went to meet Lynda, unsure whether I was supposed to pay an admission charge to get in to the cathedral. I crept in without doing so, thinking that Lynda would never have come in if she'd had to pay. I found her near the shop, and she went to the cafe to get us cuppas while I had a quick walk around the cathedral. It really is absolutely enormous with beautiful pale stone and gorgeous stained windows. I didn't take very much time but I thought I'd probably have another chance. We drank our cuppas and were booted out at closing time.
We walked back past Waitrose to the car and drove to the house of the friend of Andrew's whose birthday it was. We went inside, had a chat and took Andrew and his friend home to Downham Market. Back at home, we found Dave absolutely exhausted after his day of cutting wood and excavating the back yard. Andrew had a little friend Harry stay the night. I went and did some more work on the net. I submitted my registration with Reed and investigated both Keeley Associates (the 1 Waterside property was actually three storeys and was £600 per month), and Whitfield Group (all were too expensive).
Lynda made up a wonderful Indian feast complete with naan and chappattis, which was very delicious. Dave opened the bottle of red I'd bought them (after the obligatory glass of champagne) and we had a fun night. I went to bed after midnight again, after eliminating all cities on the map for work possibilities, with Dave and Lynda's help.
