Bank Holiday Monday; Warm and humid day suffering after four weeks of a chest infection as an early salvage is planned for the French cargo ship that sunk carrying nuclear waste
Another long lay in, this time suffering from my chest infection and the weakness and debility it induces. I eventually get up in mid-afternoon after watching the best of the England batting team struggle against Sri Lanka. Time to update my journal and then sort out my paperwork and finances against tomorrow. I managed to reconcile my bank account, pay overdue bills and list my priorities for tomorrow. Top of the list was a visit to the Doctor now that I have had this chest infection for over 4 weeks. News today of the return of Thatcher from her holiday in Switzerland to an encouraging report on her industrial confrontation.
Two Northern Ireland docks vote to stay at work and there is no progress in the Scottish Transport Union and British Steel. A serious fire on the M6 Keele Services overhead bridge restaurant closed the motorway to traffic today and held up bank holiday traffic. An early salvage is planned for the French cargo ship which had sunk after a collision with a ferry with radioactive material on board. The weather today has been very warm and humid with hazy sunshine.
