A trip to St Neots with Diana on a milder day than of late with coffee in Brackenbury's and then a hunt round for the best building society interest rates. The afternoon writing up a paper on Local Government Re-organisation, and then off to Huntingdon for this evening’s HDC Planning Committee Meeting from which Percy had to retire early
Once we had got the girls to school, I joined Diana for a trip to St Neots on a milder day than of late. My nose is still snuffling a bit but is improving steadily and I cannot stay in all of the time. I checked around the building societies and discovered that the interest rates for investors had been dropping this month so that the best I could get on £50k deposits was 10.60%.

Home for lunch and to get on with some paperwork and then wrote up a paper on Local Government Re-organisation which I hoped to discuss with Percy and then distribute to those involved with the forthcoming consultation meetings. Tea and then to prepare and leave for this evening's HDC Planning Committee Meeting. I arrived early as there had recently been something of a scramble to occupy the seats in our part of the chamber. Percy arrived later and was suffering from a tummy upset and so left early as well; but I held the fort until the meeting finished at 9.30pm. Home tired but in time to find Diana still up and so to bed together after I had been made my bed-time drink
