A meal with Nigel and Lynne at "The Racehorse" in Catworth after a tiring and busy day working on Council and campaign matters, sharing the place with the successful local football club fund-raising event

I was understandably very tired this morning and regretting, to a certain extent, going to last night's event. I was up and dressed a little slowly and to my office even slower still. The morning was disrupted by the need to go and see an old lady in Lakefield Close about a neighbourly noise problem and I did this. I had to get back home by later in the morning to receive Sally and Michael, who had come to type in some copy for FOCUS and they used my portable computer whilst I carried on with some other work on the MAC. They stayed until lunch and then I carried on working on my own in the afternoon. Achieved some success, but there was much work to do and I was tired and concerned about the coming weekend deadline with my plan being to have draft copy to show a meeting of candidates on Saturday morning.

This evening, we got ready and dressed and then went over to Hail Weston House to meet Nigel and Lynne. Went out by their car to the restaurant in Catworth called "The Racehorse". They had separated off part of the room with curtains and this provided a nice setting so that a village football club fund-raising event could carry on next door without disturbing us. Their team is evidently top of the league and needs an extension to their buildings. Diana and I had roast duck which was very nice. As the evening went on, I was feeling rather tired and weary with yesterday's jaunts so that we did not go back in for coffee with the Smiths afterwards but came straight on back home instead.
