#2 son collected the car so I was relieved of that duty. I went off to my lunch date, General Council lunch in the Playfair Library, a glorious venue. It was a very convivial afternoon and much better than being of in the heavy wet snow.

I'm watching 'Back in Time for the Weekend', the 60's. It's my youth, flashing in front of me, I REMEMBER phone boxes, and how to use them. And where was I on 21July 1967, Austria. 'One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind'.
