After another cold night and start to the day, Di and I saw Debbie off to school Daniel introduced his girlfriend Angela to me and they seemed very relaxed together and enjoy one-another's company who is studying Chemistry and hopes to take advantage of a year in France as part of it. Daniel had a tyre damaged on his car and I gave him the money to replace it.
After lunch, I took Debbie and her friend down to the village hall for the "November Fayre" and, as Village Hall Vice-Chairman and Trustee, I overlooked proceedings and helped as the Chairman was not there. It was cold today but dry apart from a few showers.
It was cold last night and again this morning. A cold wind was whistling through the gaps in the doors left as a result of the draft-proofing being removed by the decorators. Diana, I and the girls were up at the normal time and saw Debbie off to school after breakfast, but Daniel and his girl friend, Angela, were laying in bed in their separate rooms until much later. Breakfast and my morning chores before lighting a log fire in my office and settling down to write up these last couple of days' journal. Di was first to meet Angela when they came to breakfast and then Daniel introduced her to me in my office later. She is a nice, quiet, studious type of girl; slim with short black hair and modestly attractive. They seem very relaxed together and enjoy one-another's company. She is studying Chemistry and hopes to take advantage of a year in France as part of it.

Daniel had a tyre damaged on his car and I gave him the money to replace it. I worked on as he went to buy it and then saw them for lunch as Diana had left out a table of salad for us. Debbie was home for it, but Diana was taking Della to her riding lesson at the time. After lunch, I took Debbie and her friend down to the village hall for the "November Fayre" and, as Village Hall Vice-Chairman and Trustee, I overlooked proceedings and helped as the Chairman was not there. I relieved Elizabeth (the treasurer) on the door for a while (taking the entrance money) and then got Diana to join me helping Helen and others serving the refreshments. I also had to announce the winners of the raffle prizes etc which made me rather hoarse as I had to shout, there being no address system set up. Home; where we all had tea in the lounge - our family, Daniel and Angela - before I returned to my office to do some more work. It was cold today but dry apart from a few showers: A good day to be inside, really.
