Work, a family lunch and an afternoon visit to Mum and Dad where the children play nicely with Nanny and Grandad all on a wet and windy way
A day of coldness, high winds and torrential rain. I fear that winter is close and I will soon have to put The Lady’s winter shroud in place. Early, for a Saturday, to rise and first to take the road to Kimbolton with Daniel before arriving at the office by 9.00am.
A morning planning and writing draft Members and Director’s agenda and minutes to enable Geoff Lynch’s share transfer to be effected. In late morning to St Neots and Hepworths in the rain but my new suit was not yet altered and I will have to return again. To Little Paxton for the rest of the family and to the Little Chef for lunch before driving to Stanton to spend the afternoon with my Parents.
We are pleased to see the improvement in Mum and both Daniel and Debbie play well with Nanny and Grandad including Dominoes, Chequers and a long game of Scrabble. Grandad Broad is asked to read “Beauty and the Beast” three times to Debbie. Home after a tea of sandwiches, tea and cake to arrive tired and ready for bed. A relaxing hour or so listening to an interesting radio play on Charles Babbage and his Engine – required reading for a computer magnate!
Today more speculation and analysis about Cecil Parkinson’s affair and I am sure even now we have not heard the end of it. Thatcher, herself, is seen wanting of judgement as the result of the support she has given him in the absence of a view of the implications.
