 Birthday of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh

Mrs Thatcher has a majority of over 140. Bliss. Up at 8:20 after only three hours sleep. Phoned Auntie Mabel with our news and breakfasted with Ally. Mum and Dad took Ally to the AHA where she handed in her notice to quit in a month and spent half an hour with Derek. We all went to Lynn's with a bottle of bubbly and found her in the garden with the babies and Sue with Christopher. We told them our news, but they had guessed already. We sat in the garden, and at times a cold wind blew. Everyone delighted. Katie is exquisite and like a baby in a magazine advertisement. Mum and Dad returned to Horton at 2 and we went on to John's with the news. John brought us home at 7 and Ally was immediately sick and went off to bed. I attempted to pack and made a poor job of it. To bed at 11.
