Thursday
Warm, low clouds, slight
rain. Saw half a dozen gypsy women at St
Botolph’s Corner, in gaudy coats and skirts, selling brilliantly coloured paper
flowers.
This afternoon intended to go to
Fordham, as I hear that the big ceiling is taken down, but went by Sheepen and
then found it was too late. The Potter’s
Field is ploughed up, for the first time since about 1930. Many signs of the old trenches dug in the
early years of the excavations. Met Dyer
up there, and talked to him, then found it too late to go to Fordham, so called
on Alderman Blomfield at St. Clare
Road . Found
him sawing wood in the Park, and talked about the latest business at the
Museum. He was very worried, but I doubt
if he intends to do anything.
Our brothel opposite the office
has been very busy this last few days, Americans in and out all the time. An officer came out this morning.
Decided tonight to try and get
into the National Fire Service on part time, to do one night per week.
Called at Dedham and then to Higham. As I came away from Dedham it was very dark,
with low clouds and fine drizzling rain.
Surprised at Stratford Church to hear an “All-clear” sounding from the
direction of Colchester . Should not have thought that ‘planes would be
out on such a night, although I have known them to come over in a
snow-storm.
