It was not actually Daniel's birthday today (that comes when we are away on holiday on March 27th), but we still treated it as such. Daniel arrived after lunch and then had a birthday tea with us and Diana's parents. He is looking fine and spent an hour this evening with me and the dog and seems to get on well with it. I went into St Neots this morning and got him a present of a filing case for his papers. I also gave him a boxed birthday card with £100 in cash for a night out with the boys and a cheque for £400 for something special. We were pleased to do all that for him and he seemed grateful if a little overcome.

A TV film (Goldie Hawn's "Private Benjamin") with Diana and the girls and then to write up this last couple of days journal before bed. I have been suffering badly these last few days with a chest infection after a cold and the coughing and my temperature seem to be getting worse which is worrying with my US trip coming up.
