I talk about Gio's positive work and then go and call him Vance.

Gio and I take a quick stroll on to the edges of Hampstead Heath whilst waiting for my friend Mark to arrive.

I look back on the past few days of having Gio in the office as we wait for a train at Hammersmith. The Siren incident referred to happened shortly before this section of recording began and involved a decision to cross a road within a rather hectic situation. I decided not to include it however, due to excessive wind noise.

We return to jeers old stomping ground whilst changing trains at Euston.

Gio and I are getting used to crossing Waterloo together but it seems some people are looking out for us nonetheless.

I look back on our progress so far as Gio and I make our way to the office.

Gio is awarded for his efforts with a small game of fetch.

We cross the concourse at Waterloo station as I tell how Gio has been a good boy all day at work.

As I return to work with Gio my guide dog training diary becomes a working diary. I intend to keep it up sporadically, but it may not quite be to the same intensity and quality of previous entries.

Still heading home, Gio and I walk from West Hampstead Thames link to West Hampstead Overground station.
