A rather unpleasant trip to the dental hygienist after which we enjoyed morning coffee, some shopping in St Neots, and then I took Diana for lunch at the Tempsford anchor and an afternoon trip to Willington garden centre to buy hanging baskets, plants and other things. A more relaxed evening, my computer being away for repair. Another Boeing crashes, this time into a mountain over the Azores, killing 1- 200 people, and Edwina Currie makes few friends during her grudging appearance at the Select Committee.
I was later to bed than I intended last night and therefore felt quite tired today. I managed to make breakfast with the family but then had to join Di for a trip to the dentist’s in St Neots. This was necessary for treatment by the hygienist who scraped our teeth with a drill attachment and then polished them with a felt pad fitted to the same drill. The girl was quite rough, as she always is, and the high-pitched whine and vibration was almost as unpleasant as having our teeth filled. We recovered at the Rendezvous Coffeehouse afterwards, avoiding the Harvest Bakery in the High Street as the road was up again from the bridge to the centre and the equipment and mess would not make for a very relaxing site through the window!

We stayed in town to do a little shopping and then I invited Diana out to lunch and an afternoon trip to the Willington garden centre. I chose The Anchor at Tempsford for lunch and the choice was a good one because we had a nice roast. Then away to Willington where we spent a couple of hours buying some hanging baskets, plants in other odds and ends to put in the conservatory. Once home, I spent the rest of the afternoon in the conservatory, arranging and installing things. Percy Meyer dropped by and other people phoned but I still carried on. A lazy evening by my standards as I heard today that I was not going to get my computer back for a few days. The news today is of another Boeing airliner crash; this time a charter flight full of Italian holidaymakers over the Azores with one or 200 people killed as the plane crashed into a mountain. Edwina Currie deigns to speak to the Select Committee at Westminster today but says very little and therefore won few friends.
