Recovery day fighting my cold and catching up with the news with children ill-clad after Diana’s illness as conflict continues in Ulster and The Lebanon
Late to rise and a pedestrian morning after an exhausting week. Tea in bed to start but then to prepare breakfast for the family. Time enough to read the Sunday Times and Economist to catch up on current affairs. Not much cause for good concern or celebration. After to wash, dress and take the family off to The Happy Eater for lunch. We would have eaten at the Riverside Park Restaurant but I was embarrassed by the sad and sorry state of them: Badly dressed and dishevelled in the circumstances of Diana’s ill health, we could not risk being seen by my Comart employees and colleagues and could not have relaxed.
A late afternoon and evening reading papers and working on company matters that could only have been tackled away from the office. Today three people were killed by gunfire during a Sunday evening service in Northern Ireland. The congregation were sprayed by bullets fired by terrorists after the three men who were welcoming the worshipers were shot dead. In Lebanon, an Israeli jet was shot down by Syrian artillery whilst in Tripoli more shell and rocket barrages are exchanged by Palestinian adversaries. The news is of the sextuplets born to a couple after taking a fertility drug.
The weather today continuing colder with northerly winds working down the country to foretell a night of frost if the weatherman is to be believed. Off to bed with much preparation for the morning left undone. I hope that the family will be reasonably self-sufficient in the morning and the onset of my cold no worse.
