More time looking after the family and monitoring the Press coverage of my sale and retirement, buying a new bike for Daniel for being helpful, as the High Court decided that the Government’s banning of Trade Unions at GCHQ was unlawful
A lay in until 7.30am and then I made the morning drinks whilst Diana completed Daniella’s second feed of the night. After breakfast, Daniel and I take Debbie to school then I take the car to Little End Road. Further press comment in the computer journals, mostly favourable, and I am pleased with the interpretation the industry is putting on my plans. Congratulatory phone calls from other BMMG council members before telephoning Brian George, Manager of Barclays Bank , and Marshalls of Cambridge, to complete the arrangements for collecting my new Jaguar tomorrow at 2.30pm. I also spend time with June Hamilton and John Lamb drafting and amending the notice to Profit Sharing Scheme members and also preparing the last minutes of Comart Director’s meetings.
Home in time for a salad lunch which I eat whilst watching the West Indies beat the England test match team for the third match running. After to St Neots with the family to the bicycle shop with the intention of putting Daniel’s bike in for repair. In the event, the extent of repairs and our recent good fortune persuaded me to invest £124 in a new Sturmey Archer, 22inch frame racer for Daniel. Then after Daniel and I to the riverside park, and there to play our second match of ‘pitch and put,’ which showed Daniel having made a great improvement. Home in time to collect Debbie from school and then the bicycle from St Neots and then, after tea, an early evening putting the press cuttings into our album.
News tonight of the latest government defeat – this time a High Court decision that to ban GCHQ unions without consultation was unlawful! Also a decision by Dover to ban all freight movement whilst keeping passenger services open. A report today calls for the splitting up of the British Airways route structure to reduce its dominance for privatisation and MP Jack Ashley publicises a campaign for compensation for British drug victims of American drug Debendox’s ill effects. The weather today warm but cloudy, but no rain.
