Playing tennis and teaching Della to cycle on the games lawn

Accompanying Di to Cambridge and giving up on finding jeans to fit before lunch at the Arts Theatre Restaurant . Then home to chase timber quotes for the building of Harnser before playing tennis and teaching Della to cycle on the games lawn

I opted to accompany Diana on her regular trip to Cambridge today, even though we would not be meeting her parents as her mother was away in Spain. We tried a different place for coffee in the sales room of a department store which had attractions for Diana (being close to her shopping) but was a bit uninspiring for me. I had put on my sports jacket and trousers and it was rapidly becoming too warm for me to cope with. I gave up trying to get any jeans to fit me after I walked all of the way over to the Grafton Centre to no avail and then met up with Diana again rather late for lunch at the Arts Theatre Restaurant. Rather grumpily home, hoping to find my timber quotations had arrived by fax but, there being no response, I had to go round and chase them all again.

Then, at 4.00pm, the fax machine sprung into life and they all arrived in a rush and made a very interesting comparison. The evening was spent helping Debbie with her maths revision ready for her test tomorrow and I think that we got on very well - even though there was many topics still to do when we had finished. I also spent some time with Della on the games lawn, teacher her bike riding and tennis and actually managed to get some photographs of her riding which will come as a shock when Diana comes to get them developed! In tired to bed, getting ready beforehand for tomorrow's early departure for Norfolk.
