Day 193

Up rather illy at 6.50 am for placement. I had to enter details of raffle ticket purchasers on a portable computer. Being used to tedious input sessions I set to work with a will. At dinnertime wandered round Haysend looking for something to eat. Miserable weather, grey, rainy and cold. Left about 3.40, having done over 200 addresses; arranged to come in 10am-4pm and have Thurs. am and Fri. pm off.

Back in Mugsborough about 4.15. Met M outside the DHSS just getting into her car. She remarked how smart I looked and gave me a lift back. Realised I had a rather nasty cold coming on.

Tories U-turned over the pits, a moratorium for 20-30 of them. Tory bastard press still against them, for a change.
