Google Flow / Nano Banana Reimagining Jilly, Me & John (not especially well) in Punch & Judy
Monday 24 March 1986 – Work OK. Stayed in evening.
Tuesday 25 March 1986 – Work OK. Did work on dad’s books etc. Quiet evening in.
Wednesday 26 March 1986 – Busyish day in office. Went to Annalisa [de Mercur] for lunch – OK. Stayed in eve.
Thursday 27 March 1986 – Work OK. Went to Selfridges at lunch with dad to buy chocolates etc. Met John [White] & Jilly [Black] in eve – went to Punch & Judy / Rasa Sayang etc.
Chocolates must have been for Mother’s Day. I suspect that Dad and I would have had a more than half decent bite of lunch in Selfridges while on our mercy mission for mum.
A nice thought is that we three met up again not so long ago, with Mandy and Janie also with us.
Friday 28 March 1986 – Quiet day at home, did work on dad’s accounts etc. Stayed in eve.
Saturday 29 March 1986 – Busyish day around – went to high road – stayed in evening. Did some work on dad’s books.
Sunday 30 March 1986 – Easyish day – went to G. Jenny’s in afternoon – OK. Mei Sum [latterly Mrs Wongs] for very good meal in evening.
I had completely forgotten that Mrs Wongs in Streatham was previously a favourite place of mum’s, dad’s and mine known as Mei Sum. Mrs Wong improved the place, I’m pretty sure we all agreed.
Monday 31 March 1986 – Did very little today – had a Carretto [Il Carretta] lunch. Lazed around etc.
Tuesday 1 April 1986 – Back to office today – OK. In office all day. Lazyish evening.
Wednesday 2 April 1986 – Work OK – doing some of dad’s work etc. Lunch hour + at home evening.
Thursday 3 April 1986 – In office today. Quietish day. Did nothing in evening.
I spent quite a lot of evening time on finishing off dad’s books that spring. Keeping the books had never been one of dad’s strong points. Once he knew he was selling the shop his attention to those details had no doubt diminished further!
