Saturday April 30, 1983

 We stayed in bed until about 9:30 when we heard Steve O'Connor's ladder banging against the wall and then heard him up upon the roof. We breakfasted on eggs and bacon and lashings of coffee. I went out and bought a Daily Telegraph but it contained nothing of great worth. 

True: Spandau Ballet

Edward Heath is reported to be annoyed at being held up in the traffic in Westminster recently when a car carrying the Queen Mother caused a traffic jam and she received priority and because of it he missed a vote in the Commons chamber. The Express report that Heath has complained that MPs should have precedence over members of the royal family in the surrounds of the Palace of Westminster. Ted denies that he has said this, but then he would, wouldn't he?

Ally says what a beautiful evening we had last night. I had a trout and she a piece of veal in a mushroom sauce, but washed down with a wine not as good as the wine we 'brew'. The dinner cost a mere £13 and we came away happy and relaxed. 

We walked to town and bought food and the Spandau Ballet LP 'True'. Excellent. Later: Terry Wogan, 'Dynasty', and five minutes of the film 'Shaft'. Went to bed and found sleep almost immediately.
