An earlier start to tackle some Hayling View maintenance jobs today as Diana left for Cambridge; cutting up branches and then finishing my alarm changes.
Iraq were suffering land and sea attacks without their air cover as 100 of their planes are stored for safety in Iran. London club Brookes of St James's was damaged by a bomb as the Gulf-related terrorist campaign begins
A better night's sleep which allowed me to get up at a reasonable time this morning. I still had to have breakfast on my own, but I did see the girls off to school. Diana left for some shopping in Cambridge today, but I had a meeting with my electrician about the work for our hall/utility area. Coffee, a check on the news, and then the rest of an extended morning working on the alarm system upstairs and down. I made my own lunch and then went out to do my chores. Had several calls today on council business.

It was another calm and dull afternoon and so I decided to do some gardening, cutting up the rest of the Silver Birch branches and tidying up generally. I was back in again this evening, finishing off some more changes to the alarm and then documenting the resulting job for future reference. My journal and then the television news. The Iraqis were caught out in the desert today with the Allies claiming a couple of dozen tanks and other vehicles destroyed as a convoy. They also had a flotilla of small boats off-shore attacked by helicopter gun-ships and both incidents show the problems of lack of air support. The latest view on their 100-plane air force removed to Iran is that it has been put in store for the rest of the war so as to be of use afterwards. A London club (Brookes of St James's) was damaged by a bomb as the gulf-related terrorist campaign begins.
