Taking Diana to Bedford on another mild day and noticing how rundown it appears in the recession and getting back in time for Della's nurse to leave.
Then taking a stubborn Della with us for lunch at The Little Chef after which Daniel arrived with Angela and set up the computers for Della to run games on
After the normal morning routine, I took Diana along to Bedford to do some shopping and we started, as usual, with coffee. I noticed how run-down Bedford was looking with the economic recession; many shop fronts empty and the department and furniture stores deserted. At the same time, there we lots of street-traders trying to make a living and not doing particularly well at it. I let Di go to do some Christmas shopping afterwards whilst I walked along to Peacocks Auction Showrooms.

Lots of bankrupt stock there as well. Our rendezvous at 11.30am and a quick look in British Home Stores before it was time to go and to get back in time for Della's nurse to leave. We got Della into the car and took her to The Little Chef and she eventually enjoyed the meal once we had got her out of a particularly stubborn mood over us not bringing her cuddly with us! I came back with her afterwards and let Diana go off alone into St Neots to do her weekly food shopping. This evening, Daniel and Angela arrived and Daniel helped us set up the personal computers for Della to run games on and also updated my own computers for more modern software. We were all back in our normal beds for once. The weather continues mild.
