Some fishing and more investment summary work on a sombre and misty autumnal day as Di invited Debbie’s friends round to use the pool and I let her use her new recorder and read her Country Companion. Liverpool ‘fans’ are extradited to Holland to stand trial for football hooliganism, seventeen oil tankers have been hit in the Gulf in attacks from both sides, Barcelona air traffic controllers plan to strike again and Israel prosecute nuclear whistle blower Vanunu after he was abducted by Mossad over revealing their bomb plans
Stayed up quite late last night watching the athletics and other sport and so slept in quite a bit this morning as a result. Showered, shaved and dressed for breakfast and then went out fishing afterwards. A sombre, misty morning, that stayed that way all day as it happened. Did quite well, catching a couple of bream and several other fish. Fished on until 10.00am, when Daniel told me that one of our doves had fallen down the chimney and was trapped behind the fireguard in my office grate. I freed the unfortunate bird and fished on for a further hour or so.

Another day of resuming normality as we take the trip to Cambridge and to meet up with Di’s parents for morning coffee and then the library was closed but I was able to renew my reader’s ticket. Some fishing today early and late today and a trip over to Hail Weston House where Nigel and I agreed our plans for the Kimbolton Ball. The new SDP leader has called for unity and an end to the ‘mid-summer madness’, A Spanish super-tanker was struck in the Gulf and The Midland Bank merchant bank subsidiary has been revealed as laundering the wealth of ex Philippine President Marcos
Slept in a while this morning and was awakened by Di with my morning tea. Lay dreaming a while and then dressed quickly in yesterday’s clothes and went out to do some fishing off of my boat. A bit slow, but I did catch a larger roach than so far. I put it straight back, though, as its tail was swollen and blood oozing from an infection under the upraised scales. In for breakfast with the others at 7.45am and then smartly shaved, showered and dressed to be ready for our trip to Cambridge in the Range Rover by 9.05am.
