A personal story
More than 40 years, told day by day
It was during this month of unusual hot, humid and sultry weather that I finally ended my marriage to Diana and moved into Wiggly’s flat whilst we looked for a place to rent together.
Wiggly formally finally presented her resignation letter as her career had been mishandled by Unilever. I had been again organising some LibDem branch affairs and FOCUS advertising plans.
A busy month of social activity seeing shows with both Wiggly and Diana and also taking part in family events with the girls. These included Debbie's 16th Birthday Party and Della's 11th Birthday Party and Kimbolton Prep Swimming Gala but I was sad at not being able to see them more often.
As well as updating my investment summary and working on my Financial Summaries for the year, I was full of plans for Redgrave; discussing them with Freda and Alf accordingly, made more difficult when they turned down the chance of having a National Lottery terminal!

A Redgrave stocktaking effort on another very hot and humid day with Freda and Wiggly, walking Sam and a St Neots snooker evening with Nigel
This was the day that we had encouraged Freda to have a stock take and had offered help for them to complete it but we did not have to work to any strict timescales and so felt able to lay in a little after the hectic activities of the recent past.

We still slept all right, despite the heat and stillness of air, made love, worked on Redgrave statistics.
Later joined Wiggly for her evening's rehearsals at a local Eynesbury primary school and walked Sam.
Drinks after outside our local Wheatsheaf pub afterwards
We still slept all right, despite the heat and stillness of air, but I did wake up with a headache and went down to take two paracetamol first thing.

Organising a Norfolk family visit after leaving Sam with Wiggly. Playing Monopoly, taking the girls bowling then roller skating. Once back, an evening St Neots walk and riverside meal
I had made arrangements to drive over to Horning for 9.30am this morning and had not had the chance to discuss in detail with the girls what they wished to do for the day.

Wiggly's work farewell, a crisis at The Hayling View swimming pool and Cambridge Fringe evening to a performance of "The Threepenny Opera".
Wiggly was approaching this, her last, workday with Unilever with some trepidation and was particularly nervous about what Charles, her boss, would say about her absence on Wednesday and since.

A Redgrave visit for the electrical contractor and survey of other shops in the area then a better LibDem evening Branch Meeting
Wiggly had arranged our first meeting quite early at Redgrave and so it put us under a little pressure to get up and out in time.
