Working on ‘Thanks You’ leaflets after an early start and then later packing up and preparing for the start of our holiday tomorrow. At the Hillsborough enquiry, Chief superintendent David Duckenfield apologised for misleading statements blaming the club and fans and Lord Mackay, the Lord Chancellor, resigned from his extreme Presbyterian Church after the censure by the bigotry of his church elders for attending funerals of Catholic friends
I was awake early as Diana had left for the spare bedroom in the night and so I was the only one there to cancel the radio alarm when it sounded. I went down to a breakfast of French toast and then spent the morning working on the ‘Thank You Focus’. Percy and Pat came around later and typed into more copy and so it only needed laying out by lunchtime. After my lunch of crab salad, the layout was done later in the afternoon. Percy came by to collect the finished product and then Michael came later to get his delivery cards for when it the Focus is printed for delivery next week. This evening, I cleared my desk and packed away the things we need the start of our holiday tomorrow. I had to make many calls on outstanding business and had to get Daniel to prepare himself as well.

I briefed Pete and Joan on how to look after my plants and fish for the week whilst we were away. The news tonight is of Arsenal beating Liverpool 2-0 to win the Football League title, the last necessary goal scored with one minute to go. At the Hillsborough enquiry, Chief superintendent David Duckenfield apologised for misleading statements blaming the club and fans for the tragedy when he had authorised the gate to be opened rather than the fans having forced to open. The Czech and Slovakian’s are expelling four Britons in retaliation for the expulsions of their own citizens this week. Lord Mackay, the Lord Chancellor, resigned from his extreme Presbyterian Church after the censure by the bigotry of his church elders. He had attended a Catholic Memorial service for friends and colleagues. Today, one of my water hyacinths produced a beautiful blue flower and the plants seem to be surviving. A brighter but cooler day today but the sun was still strong.
