Though still very tired, on a fine and sunny, if quite cold day, I took Della horse riding at Offord for a lesson on Minty and then I drove over to Eaton Socon this afternoon and evening and did some canvassing for Derek Giles. IRA bombs in Newry and Colchester. At the first three soldiers were killed and that the second soldier and his wife badly injured as at the EEC summit today, Thatcher was holding things up again.
I was so tired lately but I still carried on. To breakfast in my dressing gown and thereafter to feed the fish and took Della to her horse riding lessons at Offord. We tacked up Minty and she rode in a private lesson with Fiona for well over half an hour. Now she can walk, trot, steer and stop and, I feel, may soon be out to join a ride of ponies in the middle. I had to trot round as well as the helper! A quick change of shoes and jacket and then I drove over to Eaton Socon and did some canvassing for Derek Giles. I did this again after lunch and then, this evening, I worked on my accounts reconciling bank balances and credit card accounts. In Eaton Socon, there is still no sign of the Tory leaflets and now I am held up in my task of producing our third and final leaflet by having nothing to respond to! The news this evening is of the IRA bombs in Newry and Colchester. At the first three soldiers were killed and that the second soldier and his wife badly injured. At the EEC summit today, Thatcher was holding things up again. Today was a fine and sunny one quite cold.
