After progressing my FOCUS work and tackling Daniel and Della over their plans, I went by train to visit The London Boat Show with my friend Steven and decided to order an auto-pilot and got my navigation software updated before we went by taxi to Leicester Square afterwards and had a nice Chinese meal at the Fu Kung Restaurant. The boat manufacturers are finding the going a bit rough at the moment with the sky-high interest rates and threat of a Gulf War
I was awake at a time much closer to our former routine this morning and was therefore able to see everyone out of the house. It is Daniel's last day at work in Cambridge before going back to university this weekend and I tackled him about his arrangements, wondering if he were able to come to the boat show with me or help finish off the garage foundation but he claimed that he was too busy. I finally arranged to visit Earls Court with my friend Steven this afternoon. Della was being difficult about doing any number work for her Kimbolton test and I have left it in order not to create too much tension to spoil her Saturday visit. This morning I typed up and printed out numerous letters and envelopes for FOCUS colleagues to allow them to adopt the same approach as me in canvassing for advertisers. There was only then time for my outside chores before an early lunch.

Steven then collected me in time to catch the 1.03pm train from St Neots to London where we visited the boat show and made my decision about ordering an auto-pilot. I was glad to get this opportunity to go down there although there was not much to see. The boat manufacturers are finding the going a bit rough at the moment with the sky-high interest rates and threat of a Gulf War. I managed to get my navigation software updated (and Steven, his VHF radio) and, if nothing else, I could confirm the decisions that I was already making. We went by taxi to Leicester Square afterwards and had a nice Chinese meal at the Fu Kung Restaurant and then were only just in time to catch the 9.40pm train home.
