Unusually mild day for Diana to be confirmed as pregnant as I address company development and sales personnel to get a concerted effort to innovate for success whilst sales prospects falter and Arafat sues for peace in the Lebanon
On time to the office and to brief June about the best way of achieving our principle priorities whilst carrying out a phased induction of Mrs Wilson. Quickly on to the meeting of development personnel and there to give a keynote address to the first occasion of their assembly together. A successful attempt to communicate the perspective of present company endeavour as a prelude to looking for an increased professional commitment from the development group. A quick chance to review the mail and then the morning in the monthly Comart sales meeting. A sorry affair with sales and marketing management in defensive disarray from what is seen as policies insufficient to retain our competitive edge. After a late lunch, they meet again in the afternoon with an extensive list of suggestions offered in a positive vain.
News today of the United States decision against retaliatory action towards Syria as the Lebanese conflict continues. Also of the willingness of Yasser Arafat to sue for peace with the PLO opponents.
Diana reports the positive results of a pregnancy test and has already started the process of book-reading and acquisition of accessories.
The weather unusually mild at up to 60*F and looks set to continue.
