A more relaxing day, sleeping in and updating my journal and notes of the previous day’s meetings after a nice friend breakfast. Some afternoon televised sport and Antiques Sho before hearing news of the US loss in the Gulf of a B52 bomber and helicopter
Slow to retire last night and even slower to rise this morning and so I had breakfast in my dressing gown again. A nice fried meal which I enjoyed before getting showered and dressed and then updating yesterday's journal before coffee in the lounge with Diana. I then spent the rest of the time before lunch writing up the notes from yesterday's meeting which looked quite productive on paper even if it was a bit frustrating at the time. A nice lunch of roast beef and then a relaxing afternoon watching televised sport. First Football and then Rugby Union. I also enjoyed "The Antiques Roadshow" whilst having tea in the lounge, The programme was coming from St Ives this time and it was nice to see the place on television and enjoy watching local people's precious possessions being examined and valued by experts.
The Gulf News is of the US losing a B52 bomber and another helicopter and also confirming rumours that a number of their previous marine casualties were due to "own goal" hits from so-called "friendly" aircraft.
