The Rolls Royce trip to Great Easton after seeing Debbie off to school after her rough ferry trip to Boulogne and then some time with Steve Bloom sharing navigation software. Then off to off to the village hall to chair a joint meeting of the Parish Council, Village Hall Committee, and local residents on the subject of the proposed extensions to the village hall.as a combined Parish Meeting. I made the decision not to try to get the boat round to the Great Ouse as the weather is too unsettled at the moment.
I was due to take the Rolls Royce over to Great Easton today and so my plans revolved around this. We were up at the usual time and then saw Debbie off to school on an unsettled and showery morning. She had enjoyed her school trip to Boulogne yesterday but found the trip by ferry a bit rough in the southerly winds. I had expected my Range Rover to be ready this morning, but it was delivered home later in the day. Steve Bloom came round to say that he could not manage the weekend for the boat trip, but I showed him the Reliant and Rolls Royce between the showers and managed to copy the Wayplan Software for him. Di arrived back around 12.30pm and we went straight off to deliver the Rolls Royce.

I drove the Rolls and Di took her own car to bring me back. Once I had taken it in, we stopped off and ate some sandwiches together for our lunch before she brought me home as I played with our latest acquisition. It is a short-wave and general-purpose radio with an active aerial which can receive those broadcasts that transmit facsimile weather charts. A little time each side of tea which I used to clean out the swimming pool and then I went off to the village hall to chair a joint meeting of the Parish Council, Village Hall Committee and local residents on the subject of the proposed extensions to the village hall. It was a difficult meeting with residents fearing the effects of the proposal but valuable for all that, but we were all glad when it was over. Home to my journal and to put new protective strips on to the Range Rover doors. Now that the bodywork has been tidied up, we will try to keep the vehicle in good order. I had monitored the weather reports and made the decision not to try to get the boat round to the Great Ouse as the weather is too unsettled at the moment. This was just as well as Daniel had not bothered to telephone me.
