Children Back to School - the conservatory stayed warm overnight despite a fair frost outside and the children went off to school with a minimum of fuss. My day of history work was interrupted by SLD colleagues visiting to work on a new FOCUS Newsletter. Air crash investigators have determined that all airlines must check Boeings engines fire warning lights, the US has cancelled further aerial manoeuvres off the Libyan coast and a declaration banning chemical weapons has been signed in Paris by 150 countries
It was colder last night, and a fair frost had formed by this morning. I had put the heater on in the conservatory and the temperature had hardly fallen below 60°F. I was up and about early today as the children were due back to school. They all went off with the minimum of fuss and then I prepared my office for a day working on a new FOCUS Newsletter. I first sat in the conservatory and fed the fish and then lit the fire in my office and awaited my visitors. Michael Pope came over to help with a copy and Sally Leggater are came to do some typing. An insatiable smoker who usually ignores house owners’ restrictions; she was quite good and did not try to smoke at the Hayling View! After lunch (with Diana and I alone for a change in the conservatory) Michael returned and we spent the whole afternoon collating and creating the newsletter.

I stayed up a little later tonight writing my journal, relaxing and watching some televised Football. The news tonight is of interim instructions from the M1 air crash investigators that all airlines must check their Boeings aero engines fire warning lights and increase the frequency of safety checks on the engines themselves. The US has cancelled further aerial manoeuvres off the Libyan coast scheduled for next month after running into criticism and condemnation in the United Nations debate. A declaration calling for a complete ban on the development, production, stockpiling and use of chemical weapons has been signed in Paris by 150 countries. It is a non-binding pledge but because upon the Geneva conference to implement a statutory ban
