I stayed at home on a cooler and windier day today completing the layout for our Priory Ward focus newsletter as Diana went to Bedford to get ahead. A distressing letter from my Mum today, who wants to leave my Dad, and appalling news as an IRA bomb strike kills 10 Royal Marines bandsman and injures others seriously.
After my morning routine, I stayed at home today and worked on the Focus newsletter, laying out the complete Priory Ward edition by the end of the day. Diana went to Bedford to get her hair done and came back looking very nice. I checked on my Range Rover today and, though finished, the paint is soft and the car will only be ready tomorrow. I received a distressing letter from my Mum today. She says that she wants to leave Dad but, in their situation, I can’t see how it can happen and how it would solve anything.
Appalling news this morning as the IRA bomb strike at the Royal Marines band school in Kent kills 10 and many more seriously injured as the walls of a coffee break staffroom fell out and the roof caved in on top of them. More controversy in Belfast, as files on 60 suspected terrorists are sent to a newspaper. Tremendous Ryder Cup golf today as the US team won the foursomes 3-1 this morning and then the Europeans, under team captain Tony Jacklin, won all 4, 4-balls to lead the end of the first day 5-3. A cooler and windy day today with some rain as well.
