Out of the house on a sunny and still day after our restful Christmas and to Bedford for shopping when I bought Diana a Wedding Anniversary present and card and then back there for the cinema with Della and Diana to watch "Curly Sue" which was a very good film that the three of us enjoyed.
Many western nations were now recognising the individual independence of the new Russian Commonwealth of Independent States but, under the leadership of Boris Yeltzin, there were already signs of disunity and conflict over defence and the economy
Something of a lay in and then breakfast for the whole family together for a change as we were due a trip to Bedford this morning. Time for me to tend the doves and fish and then we set off, parking and starting with coffee on arrival. I let the others go their own way for shopping and I tried to go to the Peacock's Auction Showroom but it was closed this week with Christmas being in mid-week. Then bought Diana a Wedding Anniversary present and card and some guidebooks for France before meeting up with them all for lunch at the Pizza Hut.

My normal meal there of salad and then a couple of slices of Pizza from the other pans on the table. I wanted to take the family to the cinema but Debbie and Daniel were not keen and so I came home to drop them off and get a pot of tea before just taking Della and Diana back to watch "Curly Sue" which was a very good film that the three of us enjoyed. Home to tea and then another relaxing TV and reading evening. I bought a brace of oven-ready pheasants in Bedford today which did not please Diana but I hope that she is going to bake them tomorrow for us. The news of the new Russian Commonwealth of Independent States is of many western nations recognising their individual independence and the leadership of Boris Yeltzin but already there are signs of disunity and conflict over defence and the economy and I see this as the start of the anarchy that will follow. The weather was sunny and still today but the clear sky will lead to frost this evening.
