Rain. I got a soaking going out for my Daily Telegraph. We ate rounds of toast. Ally stood in the bathroom clutching the sink. ___________.
I hope we hear from a brewery soon. Steve O'Connor came at 12 and bagged up the debris in the garden and went up a ladder with a hod of cement. They pottered around until about 4:30 and went away without saying anything.
I read 'Dorian Gray' and watched an interesting programme on the BBC about the exinction of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago.
Ally phoned to say she was coming home early and arrived at 4:15. She was beaming up at the workmen on the roof.
I am feeling under the weather. Dry throat, blocked ears and nose. I have the beginning of a cold. A dreadful thirst too, swigging coffee all night. Mum phoned at 6:30 and I spoke to both of them. They visited Guiseley today to see Christopher and rushed back. Business is poor. They have only had one guest since John stayed two weeks ago.
Dad says he might not vote at all at the coming general election. He is annoyed at the PMs decision to go to the country a year early, and with a majority of 30. Papa has always been a political animal and he would have been furious with me had I expressed a decision not to vote when I lived at home. It is age for you. Apathy comes with wrinkles and grey hair. I think I might be out of favour for not going up to Horton since my birthday. We have had too much on.
Watched Daphne Du Maurier's 'Jamaica Inn' which dragged on all night. A new comet has passed over within 3,000,000 miles of earth and I went out at 10:30 to detect it but too much cloud prevented me seeing even a glimmer. It was such a thing which collided with earth 65m years ago killing the dinosaurs. When will it be our turn to go?
Bed at 11:30.
