Lunch in PM s flat - still working on speech.
She is getting more and more scattered.
6.00 cocktails with Norman Lamont - he is worried about unemployment.
Carrington has been talking about resigning - will not allow aid to be touched at all. More budget cuts to be borne by Norman Fowler.
Damned Irish troubles - murdered Ulster MP.
