On a cloudier and cooler day, the girls went happily off to school and Sally and Michael helped me produce the Priory FOCUS after which we attended an HDC Planning Committee where I left the Chairman with the impression that I would hope that they would resist the late application for road widening and out-of-town retail units in Paxton
It was cloudier and cooler day today after the day-time sun of the weekend. I was late down after washing my hair and showering and then fed the fish after taking the girls to the school bus stop. They have so many bags on a Monday that they can barely walk with them, but I was pleased to see that Della went off to school without any difficulty which was the best that she had behaved yet on a Monday. This done, I had a call from Sally who was coming round to finish off the stories for the Priory FOCUS and she arrived later to try to help. The trouble was that Sally and Michael had not really taken the trouble to write up stories that were particular enough to Priory and this left me without a front-page lead for their edition.

After a visit from Derek Giles to talk about an Eaton Socon planning application, time to lay out the Paxton FOCUS and watch more Rugby before taking Di to The Cromwell Cinema in Huntingdon to watch "Dances with Wolves".
The Conservative Party Conference is opening in Blackpool today and the weekend polls still have them trailing the Labour Party.
The Soviets have now announced wide-ranging cuts in their tactical and surface-to-air nuclear weapons in response to the ones that the USA recently announced.
A little lay in this morning and then up to my Sunday breakfast of poached egg and grilled bacon, tomato and mushrooms. I started on the chores of looking after the fish, doves and conservatory and was then treated by a visit from Derek Giles who came round with some views on an Eaton Socon planning application that was being discussed in committee the following night. A coffee once he had gone and then I settled down to lay out the Paxton FOCUS which I just about managed to do before lunchtime. A nice lunch of roast beef and then the afternoon watching the World Cup Rugby on the television.

To Hills Road 6th Form College Cambridge for a LibDems software seminar and later to watch the Scotland vs Japan World Cup Rugby match on TV before attending a Little Paxton Barn Dance to raise funds for the Village Hall
I was feeling rather the worse for wear this morning as I was still full of the various courses of Chinese food, apart from the wine and lack of sleep. There was no time for recovery, however, as I was due to take some others over to Hills Road, 6th Form College, Cambridge, for a Liberal Democrat seminar on EARS (the software package). I just had time to get myself ready and eat a light breakfast before it was time to load up and set off. I first collected David Giles from Eaton Socon and then Linda Favargue from Priory and then drove into Cambridge as the rain came on.

On Kimbolton School ‘own clothes day’ a change from my diet as we went with Nigel and Lynne Smith for a meal out as the first climax to a day spent getting the Range Rover serviced, buying Debbie’s calculator and hunting for plants. Then the second followed with Diana!
Another late night and I was quite tired this morning. I think that the slimming "no-fat" diet that I am eating is also weakening as I have now got my body-weight down to 14st 1lb. I was slow to get going and then, with Diana taking the girls to the bus stop, I finished my breakfast quietly. It was "own-clothes" day at Kimbolton School today which meant that the pupils pay a fine to be able to wear civilian clothes for the day with the money collected to aid a charity - normally the London homeless.
