Resting and reading news stories of Middle East conflict and records of Arms before lunch with the family and an even of catching up with work papers and watching the remembrance service as Diana suffers
A fair lay in this morning and after breakfast to return to bed and read many Comart papers on the annual accounts for all group companies. Also to scan the daily paper and start on the weekly economist. The year’s company results an obvious improvement on last year but some concern on the standard of administration and anticipated Audit Report. The world full still of news of the Middle East. Today, though, I do not see it, the Lord Mayor’s Show; this remembrance weekend.
In late morning with Diana and Debbie to St Neots and the library where I scan several peerage and knighthood books. There do not seem to be any BROAD honours, past or present. After to collect Daniel from Kimbolton and on to the Happy Eater, a family treat for lunch. Back home this afternoon and to read a good book on The Great Ouse. A phone call and visit from one of Marilyn’s friends and I catch and present him with the lone Aylesbury Drake that has recently joined our Campbell flock.
Tonight to sort out my briefcase papers and catch up on all manner of reading to leave the day tomorrow for comments on the accounts format. Diana is even the worse for her hormonal depression and weepiness of the first months of pregnancy but I am not worried. This evening also to watch the pageantry of the remembrance service displays of the British Legion in the Royal Albert Hall. A television coverage of some mix of sadness and splendour.
