Wednesday April 8, 1981


 _. Swimming today at the International pool with Sarah, Shazzo and Trevor. The announcement of Frances's birth appeared in the YP and EP today. 

Had ham and eggs for tea. David came afterwards and took Ally, Sue, Pete and I to Airedale at 6:30 to see Lynn and the baby. A pleasant hour. A typical family gathering around a cradle. We laughed at Peter, who took more interest in little Michelle Louise [a baby in the bed opposite]. Frances wasn't as wrinkled today and looked slightly yellow. Lynn was full of beans. After half an hour we left Dave alone with her.

On afterwards to the Shoulder of Mutton for a couple of hours. Dave, still puffing on a cigar, told everybody in the pub of his good news. Home at 10:30 and Ally, Dave and I had a conference with Mama and Papa in their bedroom.
