Finishing staining most of the boat-house timbers and then fitting a windowsill and some lining and surrounding architrave as a trial run.
John Koch of Taylor-Vinters agreed that he should make a representation to the planners over the unreasonable conditions as John Smith's made his first speech to the Labour Party Conference as party leader.
I finished the bulk of the staining of the boat-house timbers today, leaving a manageable amount to complete the job tomorrow. It was hard and tedious work, but I took down the radio and tuned into Radio 4 and listened to a range of interesting programmes which passed the time more pleasantly. I broke up the work with a few breaks, drinking water mainly and eating sandwiches and Garibaldi biscuits. Later this evening, I went inside and tried fitting a windowsill and some lining and surrounding architrave as a trial run, choosing the toilet as a room that did not matter so much. In the event, the result was very pleasing and I now feel that I have cracked it and can do the rest.

I called John Koch of Taylor-Vinters today and we agreed that he should make a representation to the planners over the unreasonable conditions that they have added to the planning agreement. The weather started misty, and it was after lunch before the sun came out and I could get the cover off the drying pile of timber. The news today was of John Smith's first speech to the Labour Party Conference as party leader. He used the opportunity to lambast John Major over the failures of his economic policy on a day when there were many announcements of more job losses and when the statistics on business failures indicate that 1992 will again be year of record bankruptcies.
