Friday November 5, 1982

 Heavy rain. Lots of snotty nosed children will be wailing tonight when bonfire parties are cancelled. [Kathleen took a half day yesterday to go 'chumping for firewood'. She is 39 in three weeks]. 

Phoned Mama. They're considering going away on Sunday. John is spending the weekend in Scotland. Randy bugger.

Home, wet at 6:45, after squabbling with Malcolm Barker. [Obviously, we didn't squabble as such. He did the squabbling whilst I knelt at his feet sucking upon his toes], on the subject of the TUC Transport 'day of action' planned for Monday. Did Len Murray ever say 'not a wheel will turn in Britain on November 8'? If he did, I couldn't find it in the cuttings files. Malcolm, with eyes bulging, demanded very loudly that I put this cutting on his desk on Monday. He'll have a long wait. 

Dave G phoned. He may be coming next week with the lads. He's taking Lily to Tenerife on Nov 16 where he says he hopes to meet a frustrated Blackpool landlady.

Took off my [illegible] and made pancakes for tomorrows  seafood pancake course. A peculiar sight it must have been. Ally made a chocolate gateau. 

Watched an excellent film at 10. 'Harold and Maud'. I'd seen it before. Bed. Fireworks.

 Waltergarth Phil the Greek is 64 today.  We left Samuel with his grandad and went to Skipton for an hour so. Market Day. Returned for lunch...
