 Ally in a black mood ____________. I went to Austick's at lunchtime to look for the Molly Keane book which almost won the Booker Prize last year but couldn't find it. Petal wants it in hard back for Christmas.

Read in one of the Sunday papers that Audrey Whiting [the royal expert who always gets it wrong] that Prince William will not be going to the colonies with of P of Ws next year. Audrey says the Queen has won the battle to keep the child at home. I never believe anything dear Audrey says and although I'd like to think of the infant prince spending his first Spring among the daffodils at Windsor I am now firmly convinced he'll be cradling at Alice Springs. Queen Mary would never have tolerated it.

Home for chicken stew and dumplings. Exquisite. Ally has bought a flying pelican for Matthew and two baby grows. ________. We sat brooding in front of Coronation Street. Mum and Dad visited Sue this morning and gave her a hand. Dad seems to spend his days pushing Christopher's pram around Guiseley.

A warm, gentle day. Ally and I took off to town with Samuel at 1pm. We didn't take the pram and I carried baby for two hours, by the end...
