Slight lay in and fine breakfast after some management and current affairs reading, some family discipline and then to the office for distribution of AGM returns and reports all on a milder day which turns to rain later. Man hunts in the Republic and talks here on banning the Provisional Sinn Fein

A good lay in and only to wake at 8.15am. Then to breakfast of fried egg, bacon and bread before two hours more in bed whilst reading the Sunday Times and also catching up on magazine reading. They feature the new management styles and licensing of technology. Out to clean out the ducks and to wash the car but not before having a royal argument with Daniel over not obeying instructions and being continually argumentative.

After to watch the Weekend World a little before completing my reading. The programme featured the central governments encroachment on the traditionally encroachment on the traditional inviolate terrain of local government rating and spending. Lunch of rather dry pork before leaving with a full briefcase to the office. There to distribute the results of my reading and notes and then complete documentation and paperwork for AGMs and Annual Returns for Xitan and the two Comarts. Home quickly to a tea of buns and shortbread before an evening watching television and writing up my journal. Milder and drier weather today but still dull and dreary. The family reasonably well but Debbie is still coughing well. More concern today over the Harrods bombing and politicians both sides of the water discuss the banning of Provisional Sinn Fein. In the Irish Republic, three separate man-hunts take place today for terrorists. Late tonight the barometer drops and the rain falls.
