Comart people problems and job offers, industry magazine interviews and new stock security measures occupy my time as Grenada talks continue, Greenham Women are jailed and a monument is dedicated to Earl Mountbatten
On time to the office courtesy of Diana and a lift in her car, and first to correlate the mail and hold an exit interview with Ian of Robin Adams. I am not sure that Ian has learnt all of the lessons as a result. Late this morning a long interview with Liza of Computer News about Comart and the BMMG. I am now getting press interviews in person and by phone thick and fast and it is all to the good. An afternoon signing more job offers and resolving matters of security (of equipment removed from the building) and implementation of the stock pools.
News today of partial US withdrawal from Grenada with a wish to pass over to a Commonwealth peacekeeping force if this could be arranged within a week or so. Injured Cubans are returned home. 8 Greenham Common women are jailed today as more missile launchers are flown in. A team of women with a lawyer fly to the States to try to get a court injunction on grounds of ‘inhumanity.’ Neilson’s mass murders are still a subject of popular interest as the case is summed up at the Old Bailey. A poignant moment today as a memorial was dedicated to Earl Mountbatten and unveiled by the Queen in Whitehall.
Tonight I elect to stay at home and work as the pouring rain puts me off of the Kimbolton firework display. Diana and Daniel still go, however, and are rewarded by an excellent display as the rain ceases. Di is upset by my non-participation and not very sympathetic to my present workloads and preoccupation with business affairs.
