Di was improving but now totally deaf in one ear after her infection but at least I remembered to buy her a card for the first time in a few years! Debbie had her riding lesson after a three-week break and I combined taking her there with a shopping trip to St Neots for a host of transactions and food.
Tonight we watched a 1946 Pathe News video about the year that I was born which was quite remarkable to see how things have changed with three further post-war nuclear test detonations the worry.
Another day of marked improvement in our health but, as Diana's infection recedes, she is left completely deaf in one ear which is worrying. She brought me my drink and I gave her an anniversary card - the first year for several that I have actually remembered! We telephoned to arrange Debbie's riding lesson and it will be her first-time riding for some three weeks but she has been very good about it. I decided to go out and get the shopping today and let Diana stay in but first I had to regain some control of my desk and undertake a host of financial transactions. I had been getting calls for money etc. This took me all morning and some of the afternoon but then I could just go out once and combine a shopping trip with taking Debbie to her riding stables.

Della came with me so that Diana could get on and we started by dropping Debbie off and then going to St Neots. Quite a series of transactions to complete at the building societies, post office etc and Della was hanging on to my legs all of the time and playing the fool. At least she did not get bored! I also got the battery replaced in my LORUS watch but did not bother to order a new glass for it (as it would cost £10) but will carry on with the old one. Then the supermarket, where I managed to get just about all of the things on the shopping list, before we drove back to Staughton for Debbie to arrive on time to collect her. We had been out about two/three hours all together. A latish tea and then, after the girls had been settled down, Diana and I sat up and watched a 1946 Pathe News video about the year that I was born which was quite remarkable to see how things have changed.
