Day 244

Prince Charles and Diana are to separate. So much for 'a fairy-tale story of love'. At least they won't have to argue about who gets the palace etc. 'Dukes and kings in fancy dress. Silly rigobands at a carnival'.

Was just setting out to collect my giro when my mother drove up behind me. She kindly gave me a lift to the post office. I gave her the the first of six instalments of £13.33 to repay the money they lent me to pay off my Access card. Then into town to get tickets from the Green Man.

News jammed solid with C&D. Sorted out why I couldn't assign one far pointer to another in C. Why? Well, char _far *p, *q makes p a far pointer - but q defaults to near. You have to put _far before each one, like you do with * in fact.

Bloody Workshop tomorrow - hope it isn't raining. A very bright Full Moon in a clear sky at 8 pm seemed to bode well for seeing the eclipse, but it completely clouded over by 10pm. Ah well.
