Shopping in St Neots at Di’s insistence, some new shoes for Debbie and time at the library before a Happy Eater family lunch together and an afternoon trip to Holywell to see the ‘well-dressing’. News today was of continued riots in South Korea, and a mounting SDP/Liberal row, where Dr David Owen says that he will not be a member of a merged party
A bit of a restless night again, that ended with being woken up by Diana and accused of pushing her out of the other side of the bed. Sat listening to the radio, before moving to the bathroom, but still made breakfast all right. Read today’s paper for a little while and noticed that one of my investments, European Home Products, is on the takeover trail again, with another Rights issue planned. It makes me doubt their stability somewhat. Was going to do some paperwork in my office, but Di persuaded me that I should go shopping in St Neots with her and the girls.
Turned out to be a tiring session of standing around, but she did go to a jumble sale, bought Debbie some new shoes, and got something for our Sunday lunch. No time for me to join them at the Library and so collected Daniel from his bus and we all met up back at the car. Off to the Croxton Happy Eater, where it seems that the local houseboat lady was no longer working. A nice meal and then took Debbie in her Brownies uniform for ‘Brownie revels’, a get together in St Neots. Home and slumped in front of the TV and watched some more Wimbledon tennis. Tea and then Di asked to go out to a village and a walk and so I took her to Holywell. We parked by a swollen river, walked up to the church, saw a beautiful ‘well-dressing’ and then walked into the old church (which was left unlocked) and saw the floral displays. Then walked back to ‘The Old Ferry Inn’ for a refreshing drink on the veranda before driving home. A charming evening’s distraction on a hot, dull and sultry day. Daniel was watching TV with Jason Chambers when we got back and I let him take his boat out for half an hour, whilst I spun unsuccessfully for Pike. News today was of continued riots in South Korea, and a mounting SDP/Liberal row, where Dr David Owen says that he will not be a member of a merged party.
