On a chilly day, after more rain, The Hayling gutters were full up with muck and the water was cascading down the walls as yet another maintenance job for me to do as I got the doves fed and then backflushed the pool filter which I found very blocked up. We also had a huge ant invasion to cope with! These interruptions as I finished off on Sally’s leaflet and then worked on Percy’s until Daniel arrived home from Peterborough after midnight.
I have agreed that Daniel can go to Norwich tomorrow and show Jason Heronshaw and the boats, but he must study too. I also spoke to Freda about our arrangements for Monday's visit to Mum and Redgrave. The Soviet oil embargo of Lithuania has soon developed into an economic and food blockade
It was another chilly day but finer after some rain yesterday. The gutters were full up with muck and the water was cascading down the walls as yet another maintenance job for me to do when I get time. With no Pete, it being the weekend, I had to get the doves fed and then backflush the pool filter which I found very blocked up. Another day of work at the election leaflets alternating with periods of relaxation. This time the fish, the plants, today's financial papers as well as the TV snooker were all "justifiable" interruptions to the good endeavour. It was well into the day before I had finished Sally's leaflet and then I started on Percy's. In the end I worked very late to finish it off and stayed up until well after midnight. This also allowed me to stay up to see Daniel home, as he had gone to Peterborough and told me he would not be home until about midnight.

Did not therefore see much of the outside world but spoke to several people on the telephone including Freda about our arrangements for Monday's visit to Mum and Redgrave. We had a huge ant invasion - a veritable plague - and every night there are hundreds of them running about everywhere which is annoying. Diana seems ineffectual in dealing with them and I shall soon have to get involved myself. The problem is that they can outwit her, but the wet paths may have driven them inside.
The Soviet oil embargo of Lithuania has soon developed into an economic blockade with food and other essentials being withheld as well. I think they will soon have to negotiate a federal solution as there is no way the West is going to get involved with so many other matters at stake diplomatically. I have agreed that Daniel can go to Norwich tomorrow and show Jason Heronshaw and the boats. he must do a couple of hours work tomorrow night and I have suggested he reminds himself on the way that he needs to pass his exam results if he is to get there more permanently!
