The 120/130 flag boards were a vital ingredient for the election campaign

On a warm and dry day, with just a few showers later, I was organising a working party to make and post 120/130 flag boards for the election campaign; installing them in Paxton for Michael, Offord and Buckden for Percy before taking over a load for Des Merrill in Gransden. After Debbie spent the day at the stables, and Di was filling in insurance claims for his car, Daniel prepared for his trip to Russia and they all watched a Crocodile Dundee video film in the evening. My book printers were struggling to finish it on time

A little late to bed (again!) and so slow to get going this morning. I first tended the conservatory and animals, had breakfast, and then my working party started to arrive and we spent the morning making and posting 120/130 flag boards for the election campaign. Then Michael Pope returned from some canvassing and we set up a dozen or more boards in Mill Lane before lunch. We carried on after lunch and laid the boards along the great North Road, High Street and Gordon road. A few more and then we loaded up with the boards for Percy Meyer went over to Offord and Buckden to erect them. Back home to tea and then, this evening, I took over those for Des Merrill in Gransden and so a key can get his boards out in the morning. The family were watching a Crocodile Dundee video film this evening. Debbie had a day at the stables and enjoyed it. Daniel was preparing for his trip to Russia. Di was filling in insurance claims forms and fretting a little. I checked with the book printers this morning and they are still struggling to get it finished on time. The weather was dry and warm today with only a few showers to distract us from the good work.
