Diana took Daniel and Della to Bedford the clothes shopping on another fine and warm day as I stayed at home to work on election materials and other paperwork and received a trailer full of election poster boards for our campaign. I let Daniel drive with me to Cambridge and back this afternoon as we collected printed leaflets and then this evening, I made up the canvas kits for the start of canvassing tomorrow just 10 minutes of time for tax planning with my accountant and local stockbroker today
A fine warm day which gave a false impression that spring was here. Diana took Daniel and Della to Bedford to get the boy some clothes including shirt-trousers and T-shirts. I stayed at home to work on the election materials and also cleared a few other items out of the way from a paperwork point of view. Later this morning, Robin Martlew came by with a trailer and full load of poster boards for our election campaign. It seems that the lack of Democrat candidates means that we have been given about two thirds of the stock for the area which will be plenty without the extra ones we are planning to make. After lunch, I took Daniel with me to Cambridge where had to buy some computer materials and collect the latest lot of printing from the Democrat printers at Glisson Road. I let Daniel drive there and back. I gave him a hard time going; over his steering and control around roundabouts and, though he did not like it at the time, he drove back much better as a result.

The printing turned out fine and will underpin our campaign. Glisson Printers had both printing presses going with the volunteers and John Mathhewman had oversight of the whole. This evening I made up the canvas kits and prepared things against tomorrow – the first day of canvassing. Michael was very ill today with his acute migraine and sickness and I wish he would take other medical advice. My Hariwake Koi carp seems to be ill again and, this time, I am leaving him to either recover under his own steam or die naturally as I do not want him to go through the business of injections again. I contacted my accountant today, then a local stockbroker, and did some transactions on the children’s trust investments for tax reasons. I just had 10 minutes for a year’s tax planning!
