I was very late to bed after watching programmes on satellite TV and so I was pleased to be getting more time in bed this morning. Just about got down in time for a nice fried breakfast with the girls but Daniel was somewhat later still. This morning, I took Debbie to her horse-riding in Staughton and she went off with a friend on a "riding picnic". She enjoyed this but got rather cold in the process. I then picked up some daffodils at a filling station and went up to Little Paxton Cemetery to brighten Dad's grave up again. Home to do my outside chores and then settle down for a coffee to warm up.

Daniel was monopolising the television by this time but was called away to help a neighbour, Hilary Knightley, with her microcomputer problem which she managed to solve with his help. He left for Norwich quite early today and then got Angela's parents to telephone us to discuss our Californian holiday. They are worried about her going because of their chances of terrorism connected with the Gulf Crisis but I think that I managed to re-assure them. After lunch, I settled down to watch an afternoon of televised sport and had many channels to choose from. Highlights of England's latest Test Match humiliation in Australia: International Rugby League between Great Britain and France where it was the French that were humiliated: and then a 5th Round Cup football match between Arsenal and Leeds which ended in a poor goalless draw.
The small boys were here again, coming to gaze at the fish and feed them. This evening, I got down to working on the alarm wiring in the new utility room and ended up documenting the entire system to understand where I was getting a fault from. The main pre-occupation in the Gulf is with the growing oil slick which has been attacked by US forces but which still threatens the regions drinking water by clogging the Gulf sea-water intakes of its de-salination plants. It is now the largest oil spill in the history of the world and environmentalists said that they had warned that this would happen. The weather stays cold and dry here and it is unpleasant to be out in.
