On a nice sunny and warm day, I was awake early and achieved a few things before breakfast and then helped Michael Pope to canvas the larger houses in the Priory Estate using my personal-index-number Range Rover to help gain their attention and then an afternoon erecting poster boards. Home to hear the tragic news of the Hillsborough Football Stadium disaster.
Having got to bed by 11pm, I slept on and off until I was awake at 6am as a result. I found Diana still beside me for once and we had fun as a result. Up and showered and dressed by 7am, using the time to feed the fish in the conservatory and then tend and water all of the plants. After eating breakfast this morning, I helped Michael to canvas some of the higher income houses in the Priory Estate, the results being quite reasonable. Lunch and then the rest of the day erecting poster boards in Priory and Abbotsley. We still have the campaign initiative in all Wards we are targeting. The printed and folded pages of my book arrived today in a sample quantity of two and we now only await the stitching and binding on Tuesday to know that the project is finished. The quality of print and illustrations is very good indeed, considering the standard of the originals. This evening, I rested my aching legs after a series of active day’s and then wrote up my journal. I was horrified to hear the main news story of the day. Due to poor crowd management and overcrowding a great crash at Hillsborough Football Stadium led to the deaths of 93 fans. The Liverpool versus Nottingham Forest cup semi-final was to have been a great spectacle of football but ended up as a terrible tragedy. The rest of the news paled into insignificance in comparison. A nice sunny and warm day but stormy weather is on the way
