I cooked the breakfast for the family on a wet and very windy morning, with Di bringing my drink but being too tired to do more and then cleared up until Di stirred again and cleared up the lounge as the girls tidied their rooms.
Some time in my office as Daniel was working on his car with his new tool kit and we planned a scheme for Della’s horse-riding the next day. Daniel was saving up to drive to Manchester later this week to see his girlfriend's family
Di brought me my drink this morning after a long lay in and then I got showered and dressed. She was too tired to get the breakfast and so I offered to get it. I fried some bacon, mushrooms and bread and then called the family down to a nice meal which they enjoyed as a change. I then spent much of the morning clearing up the kitchen and washing up all of the things. I was also clearing out and organising the fridge so that it had some chance of accommodating all of the food for once. Diana then stirred herself and cleared up the lounge and I got the girls to tidy their rooms and do a chore or two. Daniel was out at his car, using his new tool kit.

I went out to the doves etc and then my office for an hour where I caught up on my journal and then back to the lounge to do more overdue press cuttings. It was wet and windy again this morning with gales forecast of over 70/80mph. We had a bit of a worry about Della for tomorrow. She was due to go to a pony morning with her friend, Naomi, but Diana wanted to cancel it because of the problem of getting her there. I intervened and decided to telephone her mother and arranged for her to take them if Daniel would bring them back. I gave Daniel £20 for petrol as he is saving up to drive to Manchester later this week to see his girlfriend's family.
