Sunday August 16, 1981

 _. 9th Sunday after Trinity

Warm & sunny. Ally was awake just after 8. She says it's impossible for her to move in bed without me noticing.

I ate my oat puffs for breakfast and then continued with the painting activities until noon. The sitting room [which is in fact the only room] is now bathed in a golden glow.

Savile: dreadful.
Sat with salad sandwiches listening to the dreadful Jimmy Savile on Radio 1. Pompous buffoon that he is.

Over to Guiseley at 3:30 with a bottle of sherry and box of 'After Eight' mints. It was good to see Mum, who was looking well and tanned. Papa was out on constabulary duties hunting down 'hit and run' drivers on his bicycle.

We lounged in deckchairs in the garden. Sue & Pete came at 5. She looks better and larger. Dined at 6. Roast chicken, Yorkshire puddings, broad beans, marrow, &c. All washed down with wine.

After dinner Dave Porritt arrived with his video machine and we watched the glorious events of June 27. More than a little nauseating to hear our own voices. We watched the 20 minute epic three times.
