Chairing a successful Comart Board meeting and writing the minutes afterwards as my ducks produce three eggs a day but bad news about the sinking of freighter close to the Channel Islands with many dead but many less as a result of the lifeboat service in severe gale Force 11winds and 40ft waves
Up on time and to a breakfast of boiled egg. We are now getting three eggs a day regularly which is a welcome return of fortune. A little tired after last evenings travels and engagement, I ready myself slowly for work passing to play briefly with Deborah who is full of tricks these days. To the office on time for the new-style Comart Directors Meeting. First to press the girls to open and prepare the morning mail early and clear it for circulation. Then to interview Derick Morgan about our new premises plans and prepare my Board Brief. On time to start the meeting and proceed to run it strictly to time and to order for the day. A good meeting as a result with the most business conducted ever.
Lists of action items agreed and plans specified. After to check on progress throughout the company and then to settle down for the evening clearing my desk, minuting today’s meeting and also installing my things in a new storage cabinet that has been delivered into my office. Late home and, after a re-heated meal and the televised news, to bed. News this evening of the continuing bad weather with most of Scotland still engulfed with snow. In the sea close to the Channel Islands a freighter sinks with many dead in the inclement conditions. A lifeboat fights force 11 gales and 40ft waves to miraculously save many more. Tonight the sad auction of the wardrobe of the Doyly Carte Opera Company.
