Nigel Mansell in a Ferrari
Nigel Mansell in a Ferrari

Working inside on Michael Pope’s second leaflet and monitoring my carp instead of being outside on a nice sunny day and then liaising with Des Merrill about his campaign and receiving Mr O’Keeffe, the spares secretary of the Reliant Club here, collecting some wire wheels and things. I also had Percy Meyer and Michael Pope around at various times, helping with the leaflet copy. British motor racing driver Nigel Mansell in a Ferrari wins the first Grand Prix race of the season, USSR rebel Yeltsin is set to win a Moscow seat in the ‘new-style’ Soviet elections and a yacht (containing five members of the Kuwaiti Royal Family and for Britain’s) has been seized by the Iranian Navy en route from Bahrain to Kuwait in the Gulf Sea

This was a nice sunny day so I could have the lantern lights open in the conservatory. It would have been nice to work outside as well, but I had to produce Michael Pope’s second leaflet and do some other work. I was tired after the late bedtime and first tended my doves, ducks and Koi carp. The Ohgon Hariwake is still not right and I wonder whether he will recover. This morning I called Des Merrill to chase him on his second leaflet copy and to respond to a few of his queries. I had Mr O’Keeffe, the spares secretary of the Reliant Club here today, collecting some wire wheels that have been dropped off and also having a look at my Reliant.

I also had Percy Meyer and Michael Pope around at various times, helping with the leaflet copy. This evening, I watched a long romantic film with the girls which was sad but enjoyable. Daniel had washed both cars this morning and I managed to start the escort for him. To bed at a more reasonable time. The news today was of a great run by British motor racing driver Nigel Mansell in a Ferrari for the first Grand Prix race of the season. In the USSR, rebel Yeltsin is set to win a Moscow seat in the ‘new-style’ Soviet elections. This would cause a stir. The foreign office is investigating a report that a yacht (containing five members of the Kuwaiti Royal Family and for Britain’s) has been seized by the Iranian Navy en route from Bahrain to Kuwait in the Gulf Sea. It is complete anarchy there.
