A personal story
More than 40 years, told day by day
After sorting out the LibDem Press Release with John Roscoe, the long drive from Eynesbury to Edinburgh and a meal at a nearby seafood restaurant.
Then to see our first event of the fringe festival, Scottish comedian, Fred Macauley at. the Gilded Balloon.
A long walk after to the Mambo Club where it took a while for the atmosphere to get going but we eventually ended up dancing until tired to bed.
I had left the organiser alarm on and it woke us up at 7.00am exactly. We still relaxed with a cup of tea for a short while before getting up, showered, dressed and packed.

Fortunately, I successfully replaced the Discovery's slashed tyres, also mobilising the neighbours and police accordingly.
A long list of correspondence for me to do about the shop takeover as Wiggly did her Eynesbury FOCUS copy and other ward letters.
Then Sam off to stay with the family and us to the pub in Fulbourne where we had arranged to meet Wiggly's theatrical friends.
The play had put back at least until after Christmas nobody wanted to talk about Kathy's breast cancer
I woke up a few times in the night and I was not really sure why until I looked out early in the morning and saw what had been done to my car and others in the street.

Wiggly and I had been invited to the VIP lunch and special viewing stand to see the St Neots Carnival procession and so we quickly left Norfolk and arrived just in time.
After this, I met Debbie at the foot of the deus by prior arrangement and we walked down to the bicycle shop where I bought her the black mountain bike she had chosen with Di and she met Wiggly or the first time.
I tried to write up today's journal but found the film, "Good Morning Vietnam" and was late to bed.
This was quite a highlight of the year as, being the partner and guest of St Neots Town and District Councillor Wiggly, I was invited to the VIP lunch and Deus viewing stand to see the procession of carnival floats pass by.

Rushing off for a hectic day for Redgrave Stores getting approval from Bury St Edmunds magistrates court for granting our Protection Order to me to trade in alcohol.
Three meetings concerning publicity and point of sale software amidst confirmation from Sarah Francis accepting the job as manager to start on the 4th September.
Then across to see my friend Jim Bird. He had made great strides in terms of finishing off his dog kennels and garage which he showed us with pride.
We stayed at the Norwich Hotel Nelson and booked a double room for the night and, after washing and changing, walked over to our favourite Floating Restaurant and had a nice meal at 9.30pm
It was always going to be a busy day and so we were up early and packed to get ready for it.

After getting Sam organised with his worming tablets, I collected Debbie from Whitmarsh Sterland and then took her to Kimbolton where she got 5 "A" GCSE's amongst 9 and had done so well.
Then a walk with Wiggly for Sam together before she went to the first of two audition sessions for the St Neots Players pantomime with no indication as to whether she would be considered for the main one.
A working morning but at least I managed to get Sam organised with his worming tablets again.

When walking Sam, I resolved to spend more personal time and do some training with him as he was getting into some bad habits.
An office morning and evening and afternoon with Della at Woburn Safari Park as the weather breaks at last.
Catching up with work later as Wiggly had to go to a Town Council GP meeting after finding her GP meeting much better than usual
I was awake quite early at 7.00am and got up to make the tea after a little while; thinking that we had a lot to do after our recent Redgrave arrangements.
