After a windy night and cold windy start, two good walks with Sam making steady progress with his dummy-holding.
Daniel was having problems with his new car and I completed the purchase of 52 Monarch Road today before taking Diana to the cinema.
John Major re-launching the "Back to Basics" campaign today and Terry Venables confirmed as the new England football manager
It had been very windy again last night and it felt quite raw this morning with the air-stream coming from the north. My new computer tape-streamer had been working overnight and had soon backed up the entire hard disk. This was just as well as I received the new Vesa Local Bus display adaptor this morning and, when fitting it, appeared to stop the computer working even when it was subsequently removed.

Daniel was home at lunchtime and confirmed that he had automatic transmission problems with his new car and the second gear was faulty. I helped him by organising a return trip to the dealer for him tomorrow and I was pleased that he did not seem too disheartened. My morning working away on my investment summary and then rushing into town to put some of the transactions into action.
A cheque for £38,000 to complete the purchase of 52 Monarch Road today and a haircut for good measure. Two good walks with Sam and more water work and gate jumping but I was only making steady progress with his dummy-holding and I have a long way to go. Diana to Bedford and St Neots this morning and I had to make my own lunch of red salmon salad with fresh fruit and ice cream to follow.
Took Diana out to the cinema in Peterborough this evening to see the new version of "Tombstone" with the old characters of Wyatt Earp and Doc Holiday recreating the gunfight at The O.K. Coral. John Major re-launching the "Back to Basics" campaign today and Terry Venables confirmed as the new England football manager despite the charges of financial mismanagement hanging over his head. Word from Freda today who tells me of a cash offer of £16,000 for Shepherds Grove Park which is good news.
