 Up at 10. Ally looked and felt awful and stayed put. I took champagne with Mum, Dad and David and had a fried breakfast. Since out botulism attack Ally cannot stand the smell of bacon, and so it looks as though my future home life will be baconless. 

Saw on the 12:30 news that Princess Grace of Monaco died last night from injuries sustained in the car accident she had on Monday. We were led to believe that the princess had suffered a broken leg and collar bone but was not seriously injured. It's a terrible loss. Princess Grace was beautiful, even in her 53rd year. Aso injured was the 17 year-old Princess Stephanie, but how seriously we do not know. 

Ally, Dave G and I set out and walked to Sue and Pete's at 1:30, where Dave saw Christopher for the first time. He is s sturdy, tiring bundle. I told her about Princess Grace, and she asked: 'who is she exactly?' Poor girl. Never a bright spark when it comes to European royalty and Hollywood stars. Rid ourselves of Glynnie at 3, and got a bus home. Dave B came [again] at 6 to fix the notoriously leaking pipe. We ate a meatless stew with Yorkshire puddings and retired early. It was Frank's 55th birthday today.

Dave L phoned and I placed an advert [in the paper] for him.
