David managed to lose his phone somehow. We searched his room and the car. I called John Birch and he told me that David's phone was at his place. John was still in his PJs (10am) so we went into Bangor to get David's Irish Times before heading to John's place. John had a guest, David Russell, a prop forward from his Inst days so we stayed a while and shot the breeze. David's wife Susie (Cowzer) turned up to pick him up and she told us she used to stay in Brackendale Cottages in Cloughey so we swapped stories about the water pump and outside dunnies. David and I left about midday and headed to Bells Emporium at Knock. David buys his coffee beans there at vast expense. We had lunch in the restaurant, not very inspiring. After lunch we headed to Neil Cameron's place, another schoolmate of David of whom I knew the name. He is in a wheelchair as he has had both legs amputated because of circulation issues. He was a champion cross country runner but smoking and whisky got the better of him. In the evening Joyce, Harry and Alison came to Clandeboye Lodge for dinner. They were all in good form and it was a very enjoyable evening. Alison was heading off in the morning to Cornwall for a holiday with her daughter. Joyce and Harry celebrate their 60th anniversary on 2nd July!!!
