A day working on the Hayling View upstairs windows with just Debbie at home as the family were out, returning in time for lunch together at the Caxton Happy Eater before an abortive outing with Diana to the Huntingdon Cinema after it was sold out after she had taken too much time to get read. Prisoner riots take place about overcrowding at Risley, heavy fighting in Beirut kills 14 and injures 200 and an intermediary steps forward to try and get Daniloff released to solve an East/West stand-off but Reagan’s latest South African sanction veto will be overturned by Congress and he has attracted the ire of Archbishop Tutu for dual standards because Reagan had acted against Libya and Nicaragua already.
Awoke to another misty morning day working on the Hayling View upstairs windows with just Debbie at home as the family were out, returning in time for lunch together at the Caxton Happy Eater before an abortive outing with Diana to the Huntingdon Cinema after it was sold out after she had taken too much time to get read. Prisoner riots take place about overcrowding at Risley, heavy fighting in Beirut kills 14 and injures 200 and an intermediary steps forward to try and get Daniloff released to solve an East/West stand-off but Reagan’s latest South African sanction veto will be overturned by Congress and he has attracted the ire of Archbishop Tutu for dual standards because Reagan had acted against Libya and Nicaragua already.nd fine day to follow. An early call on Saturday so that we can get through breakfast in time for Daniel to walk to St Neots and catch the bus. I ate toast and homemade marmalade and spent a little time, after, reading the Financial Times and Investors Chronicle. The sun was soon breaking through as I fed the doves and then I climbed the ladder to wash and sandpaper another four windows. Got Debbie and I a morning drink, as the rest of the family were out, and then applied an undercoat to the windows. Locked up, got changed and we waited for Di to return. She had a lot of trouble with the building society transactions, but successfully got to St Ives to collect the window seat foam and to Biggleswade to get some more Jordans wheat flakes. We drove to Caxton Happy Eater for lunch, which was an improvement on Tempsford – bigger and better appointed. Then home, so that I could put on a gloss coat. I am running out of windows that have no putty to dry or work that needs doing on them prior to decoration. This evening I put the doves and ducks away, showered, washed my hair and changed, to take Di out to the cinema. She took her time getting ready and, when we eventually got to Huntingdon cinema and queued up for ages, it was full and we had to come home again. What a waste of time and effort. Still, Daniel had a good excuse to stay up and we had an early night. News tonight is of preparations for the Labour Party Conference and the inclusion of a resolution to phase out nuclear power, but Neil Kinnock estimates it will take 20 years to take place. A convicted prisoner serving an 18 year prison sentence and who was rescued by a helicopter piloted by his wife, has been recaptured during a bank robbery shoot-out. Heavy fighting has taken place in Beirut, Lebanon, Killing 14 and injuring 200. Dr Hammer, President of US company, Occidental Petroleum, is acting as an intermediary to try to obtain the release of Daniloff. Eighteen prisoners are still on the roof of Risley Prison, dismantling and throwing down security lights in a protest about overcrowding. The government look like banning Libyan Airline flights from the UK, after their involvement in the recent terrorist case. Reagan has vetoed the Bill on S African sanctions and this is expected to be overturned by a further vote. Archbishop Tutu has castigated him for his veto and accused him of dual standards, because of other sanctions on Libya and Nicaragua. More fine weather is forecast for the next day or two.
