After an upset with Di, and her sleeping in the spare room, I was awake to morning tea but then found the family had left without me and so I made my own meal, did my chores and then completed Christmas shopping in St Neots on my own. A new folder for the boat which I then re-organised to be very impressive

I was tired last night and then I had a row with Diana when I went to bed, her being ‘too tired and the time too late’ for us and so she slept in the spare bedroom. I was awake to morning tea at 8am and, when I had showered wash my hair, shaved and dressed for breakfast by 9am, all the family had gone out which upset me. After I had eaten and tended the doves, I went out to St Neots myself and did some last-minute Christmas shopping. Whilst I was walking around Shaws Market, I met a number of people that I knew, including dear Ollie of Southoe who had been having housing problems with the District Council that I had been trying to help him with.

I received a couple of letters yesterday and today that might be able to help him. I bought a photo frame (silver-plated) for mum, a cassette and booklet on microwave cooking for Di and another one on knitting for Debbie. Then a Sooty comic for Della to complete my presents for the family. At Clover Office Supplies I bought a fine and large ‘D-ring’ folder and 100 plastic wallets with which to remake the owners file for the Rolyat Princess anew. Home for lunch and then this afternoon and evening working on the manual until I eventually finished it. Most impressive and useful it turned out to be, thanks to the use of my laser printer and computer typesetting.
