_. Sun again. From the YP at 5 on to Lidget Green. I managed to secure a lift with Roy Holland in his shifty sports car. He lives at Clayton Heights. We discussed the Yorkshire Ripper and Ronald Gregory, amongst other things, as we sped along. He seems to think that the Sutcliffe case will come up at Wakefield in June, and that Sutcliffe will plead manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility. Roy's covering the proceedings with Tony Harney.
Was cuddling Ally in the Spring sunshine by 5:15. We had fish and chips with curry sauce and looked in at Top of the Pops on the telly. Hazel O'Connor is something of a novelty, and will go far I'm sure.
Joined by Catherine [Brook] and David [Alderson] and at 8 we went to a pub at Clayton called The Three Legs, or The Three Stooges, or something. Unimpressed. The place was warm and too brightly lit. Ally was stunning in a multi coloured shirt and dangling maroon earrings. Home quite sloshed at 11 for coffee. David sat eating fish and chips as I attempted to make the drinks, and dropped and smashed the sugar bowl that Catherine and David had bought us for an engagement present. If I was the sensitive type I might have been embarrassed, but wasn't.
To bed at 1am. Late for us these days. Mum and Dad visited Lynn and Frances again today. Mother and baby come home on Monday.
