The Party Aftermath thinking about the trouble at the party and wondering how we could have avoided it.
I slept uneasily, despite my late retirement, thinking about the trouble at the party and wondering how I could have avoided it.

In fact, we were very close to just that until the gang forced their way back inside our garden again when our guard was down.
There was another thought as well; that Diana and the kids really do need me around for these things and it could have ben disastrous without me there.
Wiggly still asleep and so me back quite early to help with the aftermath. Di was still asleep and so I went and fed and watered the doves and then called the house by telephone to get invited in. A chat about what had happened and the lessons learned.
The guests should only have been admitted by pre-issued ticket, we needed more effective scrutiny at the gate and the "friends of a friend" admission was most unwise.
Out and Sam loose in the back garden as I cleared up most of the mess and then, with Di going to take the children out for lunch and me not invited, I took my leave and came back to Montagu Street.
Wiggly was only just awake after her previous evening and then we reviewed the day and exchanged experiences. We were due to travel down to stay overnight in Bexley Heath together but I suggested that she remain here and go down early in the morning and she agreed.
This let us relax for longer and spend the evening together. Some idea of going out as a result but we remained in and caught up with a lot of work instead.
