My 43rd birthday - after a strangely unsettled night, I slept better after troubling Diana for sex in the early morning and then went down to breakfast for my birthday wishes but my cards and presents had to wait until late. I worked at the St Neots Museum launch project all day, producing press information, VIP invitations, and copy for a brochure and subscription form. To the Huntingdon cinema this evening where Di and I enjoyed the British film, ‘Wendy Valentine’.
Northern Ireland Secretary, Peter Brooke, is discussing the possibility of having negotiations with Sinn Fein, further migrants from East Germany can now leave for the West and the management have threatened London ambulanceman with pay cuts
I was strangely unsettled last night worrying, most probably, about Dad but the poor temperature and ventilation control of the room may have had something to do with it. I was still awake at 3 to 4 o’clock-ish in the morning before I rolled over and troubled Di for sex and then slept in a satisfied way thereafter. I went down to breakfast where all wished me ‘Happy Birthday’ but I had no cards or presents until teatime. I worked at the St Neots Museum launch project all day and produced another round of press information to encourage the newspapers, TV and radio to come. Then a revamp of the press information kit with the new copies to the Chairman and the Mayor of St Neots, who has agreed to officiate at our launch. After lunch I drafted, typed and printed out the individual letters of invitation to 20 or so influential people and dignitaries who we are inviting specially. Then the new copy of brochure and subscription form to a committee member who will kindly get 1,000 of each printed for the big day.

At teatime, I at last opened my cards and presents. Each child gave me something that they wanted anyway and then went off with the items themselves once opened! I was given a diary and pair of gloves that I can’t really use, but still it is the thought that counts I suppose. Tonight, I finished my Museum launch info, received several return calls, and then got washed and changed to go out with Diana, who had booked seats at Huntingdon cinema, which was my best present of all. We enjoyed the British film, ‘Wendy Valentine’ even if it was a bit feminine and sloppy. To bed a bit earlier with Diana.
The news today is of a controversy involving Northern Ireland Secretary, Peter Brooke, who is discussed the possibility of having negotiations with Sinn Fein. More change in East Germany as further migrants can now leave for the West. In the ambulance dispute, the management have threatened London ambulanceman with pay cuts if they only handle emergency calls. We could see troops handling the service by next week. The nights are quite cool and clear now and it seems that the autumn is ending and the winter is on the way.
