Day 811

Had a letter from ABC saying I'd been paid £406, or a third more than I expected. Just enough for a Series 3a 512K plus serial link. Went into town in to check my bank balance - still 7p. The money could come through as early as Friday. Can I get at it without a cheque book - is my old one still valid, if I can find it? I don't know.

Watched bits of a documentary about Prince Charles. What's all the fuss about? Edward VII was much worse than him and wasn't a bad king.
