As my cruise was delayed, I played with my Weatherfax and then updated my journal articles before booking my Reliant in for an MOT in two days time. Then a party meeting this evening as my Town Council colleagues struggled with their plans and we heard of the Eaton Socon by-election being called for August 8th. The news is of virtual civil war in Yugoslavia as the government tanks are surrounded by rebel forces and have to fight their way out.
With no immediate hope of getting off on my motor yacht, I settled down at home today to play with my weatherfax using the automatic receive facility and the amplified aerial. This was a very time-consuming process as each fax takes over ten minutes to receive and then adjustments have to be made at times in-between. In the end, I seemed to be getting the system to produce the desired results, even if the quality was not all that brilliant. Today, I also updated this last couple of days' journal and summarised the month of June and, as if it was the beginning of a new month, the weather today was warm and fine so as to give me the confidence to phone and make an appointment to get my Reliant to an MOT testing station on Wednesday.

This evening, we had a group meeting of local Liberal Democrat councillors and, whilst my District meeting was quite straightforward, they were struggling a little on the Town which took quite some time. It was a valuable meeting in the end and then we spent time planning the Eaton Socon by-election which has been called for August 8th to catch many of us away. The news is of virtual civil war in Yugoslavia as the government tanks are surrounded by rebel forces and have to fight their way out.
