Struggling without June and receiving NEDO officers for the BMMG before an evening working on The Lady as my ducks thrive
Another day at least as hot as yesterday, with a similar sticky humidity. A working day without June but other office girls rallied round to open the mail and take dictation. A mid-morning appointment with Mr Malcolm and colleague, the Secretary of the Electronics EDC of NEDO. A long meeting this until lunchtime, whilst I explained my views and those of other Micro-manufacturers on behalf of the BMMG. The BMMG is adamantly opposed to anything less than the equalisation of duties on electronic components and microsystems.
Then this afternoon to catch up on some more general work but missing the presence of June. An early finish and on to ‘The Lady’ at her Little Paxton mooring. I pull the sliding roof right back and prepare the exterior section amid ships for multiple coats of varnish tomorrow. I am very pleased with the new Duck Hutch. The original six ducks are now back to full lay and the younger eleven ladies are settling in well. They are now half way to their own reproductive destiny and are beginning to flock together with the others. The news is dominated by a Turkish bomb blast at the check-in at Orly Airport in France.
