Cold but dry day working on business problems and my new document register as the Tory conference bays for blood in the Law and Order debate

Another cool day but dry and bright this evening with a rising barometer. An uneasy night troubled with business problems and slightly late to work and down to the task of continuing to complete the Register of Documents. The morning mail and then to a Comart Sales Meeting all morning. A good natured affair with impressive marketing plans and sales reports. As the government and OEM business grow (and a record export achievement) but the dealer sales are tailing off as a cause of concern. This afternoon to decide on the job offer for the new Software Development Manager and then staying late to complete the draft document register.

Today the first day of the Tory Party Conference with the customary law and order debate and ritual baying for the blood of serious offenders which Leon Brittan satisfied with longer sentences. The Cecil Parkinson affair rumbled on with the stage-managed support of the platform speakers would have us believe as is well. My sore is healing slowly with Diana taking a close interest in it! – but I have not had any opportunity for it to be of worry unless it is a recurrence of a very old condition.

Early to bed and to catch up some sleep I missed in the last few days.
