Being tired today, and the road conditions being very full we put off our trip to Cambridge went to St Neots for morning coffee instead. A brief visit to Avenue fisheries in Sandy where I was unimpressed the latest consignment of Koi from Japan and then on to Weald House where dad is inactive but peaceful and mum is quite composed. Home to spend time detailing our family contacts ready for dad’s funeral whilst watching phone being televised and roasting chestnuts on my open fire
After my very late night, I was tired today and not capable of doing very much. I persuaded Di to put off her shopping trip to Cambridge and we stayed here a while and then went to St Neots instead. This was just as well in view of the thick fog and dangerous nature of the main A45 road to Cambridge. I had morning coffee at the Harvest Bakery with Di and then, once home in Little Paxton, I drove down to Avenue Fisheries in Sandy to see the latest Koi consignment, received 6am this morning from Japan. I found the fish of moderate quality, expensive and in poor condition. By shipping them around the world, they seem bound to suffer for it and are then pray to all the infections, diseases and ailments that exist. I think that it will be much better when we can breed good quality Koi at home and so I decided not to buy any of them at the moment.

Back to lunch and then afternoon visit to see Mum and Dad at Weald House. Dad is just laying down breathing, very occasionally moving his arms and legs. He is quite peaceful and Mum is quite composed. Home to light a log fire in my office and then spend the rest of the day working there to a background of the first day of televised parliament. I worked at my computer inputting the names relationships and addresses of all of Mum and Dad relatives and friends ready for an announcement in the near future. I then used up some sweet chestnuts by baking them on my open fire and finally wrote up these past three days journal. The news was full of features on the televising of Parliament, combined with more news of events in Eastern Europe.
