The Tory fringe urges the government of John Major to bring sterling out of the E.M.U.

Our typical 5th Sunday Little Paxton family church service on a mild and dull day and then lunch out in St Neots together now that Debbie has given up Sundance. I had a backlog of Focus deliveries and local affairs which I was starting to get fed up with.

The world is still concerned with the aftermath of the USSR but the subject bores me and at home the Tory fringe urges the government to bring sterling out of the E.M.U. for all the sensible economic analysts predict no early end to the country's problems

I was awoken at 8.00am this morning and had hardly started to get washed when Diana announced breakfast ready. I was down in my dressing gown to have fried breakfast with the others and wondered about my waistline with all this eating this season. I now weigh nearly fourteen stones again, after having got down to nearly thirteen and a half. Dressed for church and then tended to my chores as the girls got into the Range Rover. A nice family service at St James, this being a fifth Sunday in a month, and Rev Peter Lewis had a service of carols and lessons still in the Christmas spirit which Diana enjoyed.

I took the family to the Beefeater in St Neots for lunch afterwards and we can do this now that Debbie is giving up Sundance. The meal ended in a row as I would not suffer the girls to leave much of their main meal and yet have a large ice cream whilst Diana would have had me be more tolerant. Home in that humour and then the rest of the day relaxing and reading. My office is still full of FOCUS leaflets which I do not want to ask my regular helpers to deliver yet Diana thinks this is silly and she is probably right. In truth, I have many matters left undone during this fortnight of relaxation and I do not know what is for the best.

What I do know is that I am just about fed up with my involvement in local politics and affairs and ready to give it all up in favour of spending more time on my own business. The world is still concerned with the aftermath of the USSR but the subject bores me. At home the Tory fringe urges the government to bring sterling out of the E.M.U. for all the sensible economic analysts predict no early end to the country's problems. Today was mild and, though dull, quite pleasant.
