Despite Di getting me a Valentine Card, I was not able to get out to reciprocate and Della did not want me to get out of the bath today although my foot is now healed so that I can get around with only discomfort rather than pain. Percy and Sally came over to progress our FOCUS advert campaign after which I laid out the newsletters before spending some down time watching TV sport. Thatcher is in a minority of one amongst international leaders with her views on reducing South African sanctions and Abbey National put their mortgage interest rates up by nearly 1% to 15.5%
Despite my late retirement, I had a good night and my foot is now healed so that I can get around with only discomfort rather than pain. Di got me a Valentine Card but I was not able to get out to reciprocate. The bath routine and today Della did not want me to get out. I am like a big dolly being washed for her! I spent the whole day on these advertisements now that my boat project was out of the way for the time being. I phoned Percy first thing and suggested that he collect Sally Guinee and then come over to see if the Eaton Socon ads page could help in securing adverts elsewhere. Sally had got conjunctivitis in her eyes and did not like to go out as she felt shy.

They were here some time and I got their adverts from them and then let them go off to try to get some more. They came back with Sally's little daughter, Adelle, and I got her an Happy-Eater "Ani-Mug" with Ribena blackcurrant juice inside and a doggy on the outside and this made her friendly. This afternoon, I worked for hours laying out the adverts and completed the St Neots area edition and was very pleased with the result. I got Derek over again this evening, this time to provide the names and phone numbers of Eaton Socon-based organisations for our advertising broad-sheet. I hurried him on and had finished by 10.30pm but then spent some time in the lounge watching the T.V. I decided that I deserve some leisure time, even if I had to miss sleep to get it. I watched the sports programme and saw England doing quite well in the first one-day Test match of their West Indian tour before heavy rain ended their efforts. I then saw the England hockey team win their second successive match in the World Cup qualifying rounds and they were playing very well. To bed very late in the end. The Prime Minister is in a minority of one amongst international leaders with her views on reducing South African sanctions and she had a very rough ride in the House of Commons over it. Abbey National have put their mortgage interest rates up by nearly 1% to 15.5% and this is also bad news for the government and householders together.
