Felt very ill today, with severe pains in the limbs, neck and face. Felt so bad that I went out about 4 o’clock and went to the pictures to relieve my mind. There was a lovely film in colour, showing a horse-show with jumping, a sight I never thought to see again.
An alarm early this morning. Could not sleep last night.
