Rare cooked breakfast, reading and then a walk with Debbie and shopping a trip to Cambridge after collecting Daniel from School. An evening playing games with Daniel as Beirut erupts in fighting again
A very mild day but heavy showers at times. Late up and first to read Personal Computer World and todays Guardian. Then breakfast which I only take cooked once a week after my recent slimming successes and after to take Debbie for a walk along the Haylings to the lock. There was one or two boats moving today but this cruising season has virtually ended.
At 11.00am to St Neots and the Bank, collecting some dry cleaned suits on the way. We collect Daniel from Kimbolton at 12.00 and he presents a wooden spatula that has been his first product of Saturday woodworking lessons. Then to Cambridge, stopping at the Little Chef on the way for lunch. Cambridge was showery and warm with the car parks and streets full of activity. We purchase a large wooden painted toy chest, new sheets, a computer game for Daniel, a reproduction map of old Huntingdonshire and a games compendium for the boat.
Back to Little Paxton for a tea of egg sandwiches and an evening playing with Daniel on his new game – “Killer Gorilla”! Today more fighting and shelling in Beirut and a ceasefire could not be further from sight. David Owen gets a mixed reception at the Liberal Conference because the defence policies of both parties are at variance over nuclear disarmament. Lastly. the final race of the America’s Cup is postponed because of the wind veering dramatically and then falling all together.
