Still feeling unwell and at home planning new FOCUS distribution routes as Della’s infection grew and temperature soared until I stayed in to look after her as Di took the Brownies to the St Neots "Christingle" Service.
Politically, the opposition parties are having to work out new ways of competing with the Tories in the post-Thatcher era as the debate to replace the Poll tax also goes on
I was feeling unwell this morning and stayed in to attend to some paperwork with a log fire lit in my office for company. Earlier, I awoke to find Diana absent from bed and, thinking that she was up and making the drinks, I went down to have mine early. In fact, she had gone to sleep in another room and so I made the morning drinks and took her coffee, having tea myself. Della was up early and played with her friend Caroline (who brought her sister for good measure) but she paid the price later and was worse and had a temperature that was very high when I was looking after her this afternoon. It seemed to be reading 103 to 104 degF which is above the fever and danger point and I can only imagine that I was mistaken!

Diana had taken the Brownies to the St Neots "Christingle" Service and I was quite worried about Della and had to sit with her for a good while until I could reassure her and make her comfortable again. My day's work was quite arduous and consisted of getting copies of local street maps updated and marked to show which houses were to be delivered by which round and what route was suggested to achieve this in the minimum time. Then the general delivery instructions on the back were supplemented with specific round and street descriptions so as to make a complete record. I ended up with ten rounds to cover Little Paxton as a whole and those had only about an hour's work, or 100 houses, in each. I had the call tonight to say that the printing was done, and that help was needed with folding at 11.00am tomorrow and so I telephoned Percy and asked him to organise this. Today's TV comment programmes were all about the new political scene with the opposition parties having to work out new ways of competing with the Tories in the post-Thatcher era. The debate on the system to replace the Poll tax also goes on and will take two years at least.
