I slept well last night and woke up to a mild and fine day after a very wet and rainy night. I then dressed in my going-out clothes for an appointment with my accountant, Roger Brittain, in St Neots at 9am after having breakfast and reading the paper before going into town with Diana giving me a lift. I had a good half hour meeting and ascertained that most of my outstanding tax affairs were clear and I got details of the receipts and payments applicable as a result. I also got warning of a £4000 plus accountancy charges bill as well! I was walking around St Neots when Diana spotted me and picked me up and gave me a lift back to Little Paxton. We then took Daniella to the Village Hall as ‘Rising 5’s’ were taking the children off in a coach to the Godmanchester ‘Wood-Green’ Animal Shelter.

The Irish extradition row has taken on a new twist as it is revealed that the British extradition warrants were incorrect and outside the remit of the Anglo-Irish extradition treaty. Four years after the Bhopal chemical disaster, and with the Union Carbide plant closed, there are still deaths and suffering, and few have received compensation and then only a little. 3,200 had died and the tally rises. The new UK Official Secrets Bill has been published and views are polarised as to this effect. There are less matters covered under the Secrets Act; but within those left the powers have been stepped up in the range of matters will be protected for political as well as security reasons.
