The House of Commons is set to make permanent its TV coverage

I was trying to get some work done on another very hot and sticky day with my office was in rubble in a plague of thunder flies whilst being continually being called to the electrician as he wired up the remainder of my office and then the photo-sensed light by my riverside moorings. The further distraction of Chrisula coming at short notice to bring her girls swimming and then, this evening, out with my batch of Village Hall Fete programmes to sell.

Then servicing the Paxton Princess this evening after briefing the gardener and housekeeper for looking after things in our absence, which is now imminent. The western nations have agreed a formula for future progress on reducing agricultural subsidies which pleases the USA and the EEC and the House of Commons is set to make permanent its TV coverage

It was another very hot and sticky day today and my office was in rubble, yet I was trying to get some work done. The worst problem is an epidemic of thunder flies that so irritate the skin and annoy you. I was continually being called to the electrician as he wired up the remainder of my office and then the photo-sensed light by my riverside moorings.

Worked until dusk and adjusted my photo-electric light that seems to work very well. The day ended as it had begun - very hot and exhausting.

The western nations have agreed a formula for future progress on reducing agricultural subsidies which pleases the USA and other nations on the one hand who can see progress and also pleases the EEC on the other who do not yet have to give up the Common Agricultural Policy. There is a new deputy leader of the Soviet Communist Party who seems to be a compromise candidate to nobodies’ particular taste. The House of Commons is set to make permanent its TV coverage after a select committee has approved the experimental period. More hot weather tomorrow.
