A personal story
More than 40 years, told day by day
After the school run, walking Sam and then to Cambridge with Diana and the Kings Pantry lunch soup and baked-potato lunch special.
Then the afternoon shooting on Mill Meadow and evening obedience training.
John Major’s Government loses the key vote on increasing VAT on fuel from 8% to 17.5% in The House of Commons and are in big trouble.
I have fallen into a pattern of spending alternative Tuesdays going with Diana to see her parents in Cambridge and this was the week for it.

To the bus stop with the girls and pleased to see how friendly the Paxton Kimbolton Schoolchildren are. I caught Diana in the bedroom with mixed results.
Then to get the Christmas decorations and wrapping papers etc. out of the lofts.
Before to the cinema in Bedford for the afternoon with Di. I called on Wiggly this evening and we had a nice chat and cuddle for an hour or two.
I was still tired this morning, and it took a lot of effort to get up and showered in time for breakfast and the walk to the bus stop with the girls.

Quite a stormy day after the wind and rain had increased overnight. After struggling with Sam’s training, I gave the GSP Club training day a miss.
I took the family to Waresley Garden Centre to get the Christmas Tree as I struggle with keeping Wiggly happy.
The wind and rain had increased overnight and it was quite stormy when I woke up this morning. The curtains were bellowing out but at least the temperature was still mild as this month carried on where last month left off.

Struggling to wake Nigel at Hail Weston House to arrive late at a Peterborough shoot with Nigel and evening with Wiggly at the Singapore Restaurant as she creates over me clock-watching and making my way home.
I awoke just before 7.00am and got Diana up to get me a cup of tea and then struggled up and out myself. The car loaded and then over to Hail Weston House by arrangement to meet Nigel at 8.00am.

Home to Paxton by mid-morning for some outside chores and then having an office clear-out. Watching a football match on Sky Sports 2 channel later.
The international consensus for Bosnia breaking down with talk of the UN Peacekeeping Force being withdrawn.
All except two passengers and crew were saved from the fire-struck Italian cruise liner, the Acquile Laro.
I got packed up and was back in Paxton by mid-morning, finding just the cleaner Suzanne there as Diana had gone off to Bedford for the morning to go shopping.

Sympathising with Sam about Francis, organising Heronshaw cabinets in the garage and laying up The Paxton Princess.
Then heading back to stay with Wiggly overnight after the LibDem executive meeting.
I was slow to wake this morning after some trouble in settling down to sleep in this strange short single bed.
