Tuesday 14 April David Waddington, who was not a very good Home Secretary, and not a very good Leader of the Lords, is now going to be Governor of Bermuda. So I wrote to him, too. I like him very much. I congratulated him on a 'sunshine and sea change for the better'. Wednesday 15 April Off to Newmarket in time to see the last three races.
People are very strange.
He is immensely rich and very nice but careful about small things. For example, there weren't any cigars. Fortunately, I always take my own so as not to be in the horrible position of having had a good dinner and no cigar to follow it. I am smoking four or five a day. I am very fond of Gillie, his wife.
