I'll have to stop making a habit of getting up late, it won't do. News comes through of a coach crash near Heathrow airport last night, in which 2 people die - a lady from a town near Dundee, and a Chinese gentleman. More than 35 passengers are injured, out of the total complement of 69. A 9-year old girl, who has a mental age of 3 months, has undergone an operation to arrest her growth and stop her development. Weather is reasonably bright, with distant showers. Head into town this afternoon to get some lightbulbs. Bulbs do not last long on account of powersurges, and two went in the kitchen recently. I also get the Thursday papers and some food for tonight: Savoy Cabbage Special.
