 Moorhouse Inn

Very cold. A morning off. Up to Horsforth where we sat in the back of MJM Furnishings with MJM himself supping coffee. Marita came in at 11. They have been looking at hotels in Scarborough. Dropped in on Denise too who is unchanged. She says I am fatter. I am probably 2st heavier since we last met.  On to the Butcher's at 12:30 for lunch. Sam was well behaved and sat with us eating chips. Joined by Ronnie the stock-taker. Rob was in a bit of a dream and we didn't really see him. We went upstairs to see Kath and the baby. He is a bonnie baby - for a change. Recent babies have looked so E.T-like.

To Club St for an hour. Dad took Sam for a walk and I sat with Mum. She was brighter and not in the least frightened about going into Airedale (Hospital). Dad phoned me tonight to say that they are going by ambulance at 9:30 in the morning. I go about my business in a kind of dream world.___________.
