A personal story
More than 40 years, told day by day
Annie Elizabeth "Bessie" Delany who died on this day, September 25, 1995, was an American dentist and civil rights pioneer.
She was the subject, along with her elder sister, Sadie, of the oral history, Having Our Say: The Delany Sisters' First 100 Years, written by journalist Amy Hill Hearth.

After some very necessary sleep, more work on the shop accounts this morning after taking Sam for a long walk across the wet and muddy fields.
An afternoon with Della and a trip to the Bedford Oasis Beach Pool enjoying the swimming, sliding and splashing before she typed about her experience on my Psion.
Wiggly and I ended up in the George at Buckden having a nice three course meal.
Wiggly had had a total of 12 hours sleep last night and she needed it.

Another full working day and further car incident with an offside rear light lens damaged.
My Discovery was not ready anyway and so I could only work for the rest of the day on overdue bank and credit card account reconciliations with no ability to relax.
Wiggly eventually fell asleep on her bed in her clothes but I still worked on.
We had so much to do today that I had to get us up to get on with it, even though Wiggly was even more tired than usual.

Another busy day travelling to first fulfil the pay day for Redgrave Stores and meet representatives from Post Office Counters who had come to interview me for the job of sub-postmaster.
Then to collect Sam from Jim and Julie and Debbie from a school outing who was unhappy after receiving a paint-ball hit her upon her precious fringe..
If we were hoping for any type of rest after the exertions of the last few days we were out of luck for today had been scheduled as pay day for Redgrave Stores.

Wiggly's car breakdowns dominated the day but gave us the opportunity to me the chance to watch the closing conference speech by Jim Wallace MP , the leader of the Liberal Democrats in Scotland, and to meet her brother.
Home early in the morning and very tired.
I got us up early again and we packed our things ready to leave after having an even lighter breakfast at the hotel.

A further Glasgow conference day. The Albert Ingham award was being presented for the person organising the best Liberal Democrat campaign in the last year, for which I had been nominated by my local party. I am glad that I did not win it!
Another struggle to get up this morning as Wiggly seems to be getting more tired with each day that passes.
