Bitterly cold wintry weather arrives for my Comart Group Audit discussions as protests greet the Cruise Missiles arriving at Greenham Common before preparing for government meetings and serving fish, sausage and chips
Today the first cruise missiles arrived in Greenham Common and Heseltine announced their arrival in the House of Commons. A starlifter U.S. transport brought the weapons in and taxied to the missile silos to the tune of protest songs from the women’s peace movement. Later 17 people were arrested in a protest at Greenham with a further 8 arrested in Parliament Square. Parliament is divided over the issue with a Dual-Key safeguard increasingly popular amongst the neutral MP’s. The opposition is pledged to remove the weapons when next in power.
This morning to rise early and provide breakfast for Daniel and Debbie until Daniel left for school. Di managed to rise later and look after Debbie who was already in bed when I returned tonight.
To the office and to clear the mail and urgent correspondence before by car with Derek Weatherby to the Auditors. There to discuss the results of the Audit process which was preoccupied with the problems at London at year end. Even so I anticipate an overall clear audit report for Comart and Xitan with the small company/close company qualification for the Byte Shop Group. Perhaps also a more severely qualified audit for London. A lunch in the old ‘Sun’ public house opposite our old council offices in Huntingdon Street and back to the office afterwards to sign job offers and prepare for my forthcoming meetings with the BMMG and Alvey Directorate.
Late at the office sorting out secretarial papers for the Bank etc. and home with fish, sausage and chips for tea with Daniel. Early to go up and prepare for the morning and my stay away tomorrow night.
The weather today bitterly cold to make both home and office uncomfortably chilly in spite of the day’s sunshine. A sharp frost forecast for the night ahead.
