With my cough returning and recovery set back, I decided to go out with Diana and the girls to Bedford to look at the sales and the Peacocks auction lots before returning home to meet up with my two HDC colleagues. Debbie was horse-riding and Daniel was pleased to receive another long and passionate letter from Angela.
Winds and storms are forecast in the North for this weekend, but there have been record rainstorms and flooding in Australia as the world weather patterns show their recent more volatile face.
I did not feel so well this morning and wondered if my recovery had been reversed. I was late to get going, but then decided to go out with Diana and the girls to Bedford to do some window shopping in the Sales. I took along some HDC papers for reading and absorbed them over coffee and lunch. Between times, I also walked up to Peacocks Auction rooms and looked at the lots for tomorrow. There was some good gardening and leisure things, but I could not count on finding time tomorrow to go and bid. I also dropped into the cellular telephone dealer and sought their advice over a spare battery and aerial for my transportable telephone while I was there.

Then the hectic drive home to arrive in time for my afternoon meeting with my two colleagues on the Huntingdonshire District Council when we went through the papers for the forthcoming committee meetings and other events to compare notes. This was a valuable but protracted session that we managed to finish by tea-time. Debbie was horse-riding. Daniel had received another long and passionate letter from Angela which pleased him. A fairly relaxed evening with my cough returning but I did manage to return a couple of telephone calls and write up my journal. The weather forecasts are of winds and storms for this weekend, but it will be mainly Scotland and Northern England that will be in the firing line. Over the other side of the world in Australia, there are also record rainstorms and flooding as the world weather patterns show their recent more volatile face.
