 5, Club Street, Lidget Green, Bradford 7

Ally in a large yellow robe looking like a monster egg custard came down at 10:20 to make cups of tea and spied Mum and Dad coming down the garden path. They came en route to MFI where they were heading to buy cupboards and so we had breakfast together. They went off at 11:30 and Ally and I went to her dentist where she had her teeth cleaned, polished &c. I then went to the barber's where I was suitably clipped. It was hideously long and I was beginning to look like Oscar Wilde. We arranged to go out tonight for a pizza with John, Lynn, Sue, &c. We haven't all been under the same roof for ages. Mum and Dad called in again at 2 and then went off to Horton. We splashed in the bath and went to Guiseley for 6:30. We all met at Lynn's and went on to Peppermint Place, a new restaurant owned by Frazer Hines, and we sat around a large round table (I was in between Ally and Janette). Wine flowed like water. The food was not brilliant. On to the Old Ball at Horsforth and then the Station. It all seemed to be over much too quickly. Sue looked happy and well and sweet, as always. Have Lynn and Dave got themselves too deep in debt with Thorpefields? Back to theirs for coffee. Katie hadn't slept and was sat red faced on Julie (Baker's) knee. Home to bed at 2:30am.
