"Ladies of Leisure"

Two good programmes on Radio 4 today and a good play. The Reunion was an interview with three people who were taken hostage in Beirut in the late 1980's and the woman who campaigned for their release. Brian Keenan, John Mcarthy, Terry Waite and Jill Morrell spoke to Sue Macgregor. It was a very touching and poignant programme.
Then at 1130h Ladies of Leisure took us to a woman's only hotel in Saudi Arabia quite an eye opener. Interesting to hear that life there for women was less restrictive before the 1970's.
The play was a true story of a woman suffering from bi-polar illness who started to write a blog about it, over voiced at times by some of the comments she got. Very good.
Had a sore throat this morning, felt a bit mince so didn't go over to see Layla and Bella. Took paracetamols and after breakfast took Ruaridh a walk in the woods. Met Barney and Liz also a big boxer that Ruaridh for some reason appeared to dislike!
Got loads of knitting done, just to get the sleeves knitted then the duffle coat will be ready.
Spoke with Layla they are fine out for lunch with Rowena. Spoke with mum told her I would be down next week, booked my train tickets.
Graham going to be late home so took Ruaridh for another walk in the woods saw no-one.
Graham arrived home with my new computer it is cool. Paella for dinner made by Graham followed by M&Ms. Late blipping. To bed. Goodnight.
