A slow start before working on the Buckden Ward Focus all morning and Council correspondence and the St James’s Church section of the Little Paxton History this afternoon and evening. The Wandsworth prison dispute continues, and a North Sea oil rig was shut down for safety reasons whilst controversy has erupted over the British Telecom chatline services running up bills for youngsters.
After a very late night I could only tumble out of bed, late, for breakfast in my dressing gown. I was also suffering from a cold and too many hours outside in the evenings at the stables and so lay in bed until eventually washing and dressing by 10am. I finished off the layout for the Buckden Ward Focus this morning and worked on until a late lunch until the job was finished. This afternoon, I undertook some Council correspondence on matters of planning etc., and then this evening, I undertook the alterations to the church section of the Little Paxton History after having had feedback and comments from the vicar and churchwardens.

I finished late again but was in bed soon after 11 PM. The news this evening was of continued conflict in the Wandsworth prison dispute and of a North Sea oil rig being shut down after safety faults were found. A controversy has erupted over the British Telecom chatline services which encourage young people to run up huge telephone bills. They are withdrawing their services because of mounting public concern and now they face legal action from one of their providers, chatterbox UK, who have just bought £1 million-worth of computer equipment from BT.
