A depressing day after a bout of drinking whisky the night before and the need to take a nervous Della to the bus stop and walk Sam rather than lay out FOCUS adverts. Daniel confirms his break up with Angela and the economic situation appears hopeless with more and more people unemployed.
Mayhem in the former Yugoslavia and another overloaded ferry Neptune sinks off Tahiti drowning many hundreds of people
I had stayed out quite late and drunk quite a lot of whisky last night and, whether this as the reason or not, I was very tired today and quite depressed. Della had another worrying tantrum before going to school and, whilst I went to the bus stop with her and reassured her, I really wish she were settled and happy. She is still plucking out eye lashes, even though she is doing her best to stop, and finds this a compulsive habit. She did bring a school friend home for tea and a play this evening. Jemma Del Pozzo is a nice feminine girl and a joy to have. I took Sam for long walks today as I could not face the task of working on the advertisement layouts for the Liberal Democrat FOCUS's. In consequence I became even more tired.

At least Daniel came home today but confirmed that he had not spoken again to Angela after receiving a letter and telephone call breaking off their relationship as she wanted her independence. I gave him some more money to go out for the evening with his friend Jason but Diana and I opted to stay in as we were both very tired. The economic situation appears hopeless with more and more people unemployed and with no chance of the regeneration of industry. It still casts a shadow over the property market and makes me wonder if I should actually buy property for the childrens trusts after all. Mayhem in the former Yugoslavia and another overloaded ferry sinks in the third world killing many hundreds of people. Derek telephones later today and will come round tomorrow so that we will see if this can get me started on those advertisements.
