The Sound of Silence

 I mentioned that Diane and Kathie had been to Chichester on Friday and visited the Cathedral to see the Peace Doves. I failed to mention that, while there, Diane was stopped by a journalist and asked for her views on the exhibit. Well, it turns out that she has been quoted in the local Press. In the article "WATCH: Locals react to Chichester Cathedral peace doves", Sussex World includes: 

Dianne McMenemy said: “It’s an amazing display, it’s very well thought out. You don’t realise that there’s 15,000 doves on there. It really is a sight to see and worth coming down to have a look at if you're in the area.” 

(It is a shame they couldn't spell Diane correctly).

The weather today has ranged from bright sunshine to monsoon-like rains. It was certainly a day to stay indoors. Diane spent the day working on her sewing pattern and finding it quite frustrating.

I returned to the journals. I have arrived, metaphorically, in September 1976. that is the bulk of the '70s complete as entries become more sparse in the latter part of the decade. I have also completed the initial design and style changes required for the '80s, though haven't, as yet, looked at any content.

Ellie phoned this evening. She is back, having had a lovely week at Pete's. She phoned to say hello and to tell us that Zoe had lost her voice. She probably won't go to work tomorrow, but I will pop around to take Ellie to school.
