Feeling cold after the weather took a turn for the worst overnight, being windy and wet as dawn broke. This rest day watching televised cricket and working on my financial affairs in between.

Catching John Grosvenor later and getting him to consider standing as the District Councillor in my stead before dropping off more leaflets for delivery in Hail Weston and Diddington. Nigel Mansell won in Mexico, his second world championship race in succession

I woke up feeling cold after the weather took a turn for the worst overnight. It was windy and wet as dawn broke and I was loath to get out of bed.

I was also trying to read up on financial affairs for tax-planning purposes, but it was only for a couple of hours this afternoon that I was able to concentrate fully. I went out in early evening and managed to catch John Grosvenor having just returned home from a weekend in London. I told him of my plans, and he agreed to at least consider standing as the District Councillor and will now meet Percy to discuss the idea further. I dropped off more leaflets for delivery in Hail Weston and Diddington and then went to see Percy to give him the news. Home to write up my journal whilst watching the Mexican Grand Prix where Nigel Mansell won his second world championship race in succession.
