A day of steady recovery resting in and out of bed listening to the radio and reading papers about the successful BMMG AGM completed without me and then preparing my finances and tax payments until Della’s frantic cot-rattling made me realises that we were on our own in the house! More news of the Ealing Vicarage Rape and the pursuit of the attackers
Woke myself after a sound night and went down to find Diana. Had not disturbed her at all last night with breathing/coughing, which was an improvement. Persuaded back to bed for breakfast and listened to the farming programmes on the radio. Always interesting; was reminded this time that I should consider taking over some poor farm land in the area for establishing a broad-leaved woodland. With grain reductions, land prices are now falling and EEC strictures are encouraging (forcing) the shrinkage of agricultural land use. Collected the mail and read that in bed. Much BMMG info and papers on the recent AGM.
Very pleased to see it was well attended and purposeful, but I have really to write to them and explain my latest position. No patience to read the paper and so up to look at the swimming pool progress. As I did, Di arrived back from the shops with the girls and I met them at the door. Some fun with the girls playing and jesting, but then sent back to bed as I am still not fit. Time before lunch catching up on yesterday’s journal and this morning’s, until the baby’s rattling of her cot became unbearable – I had not realised she was at home as Di and Debbie were collecting Daniel from St Neots. Then the afternoon watching the televised sport. Some rugby, athletics and other sports. Tea in bed, but bathed in the evening to become more pleasant for retirement. An unsettled night at first. Heard the water softener churning away out of time and was then disturbed by further whining. Got up to finally trace it to a refrigerator door left slightly ajar and the insides defrosted. Slept for the rest of the night, though became chilly with sweat in early morning.
