Friday
Heavy explosion about 2am, when
a lot of ‘planes were going over. Busy
day, much delayed by Curtis Edwards, who stayed nearly 2 hours. This afternoon paid some money over to
Girling, who insisted on opening and counting all the 5/- copper bags, in spite
of my having signed them.
Have had no letter from Colchester , but the Colchester Gazette came today. Nothing much in it.
Very cold all day, and began to
rain at teatime. No Arts Club tonight,
but at the next meeting there will be an awful “inquest” on the absurd dance
which the Club held recently. It was a
complete failure, only about 40 people went.
Spent the evening at the Swifts’,
bitterly regretting the waste of time, but much enjoying myself.
News continues of the allies
still advancing, but it seems that no surrender is possible – Churchill has
seen to that. We hear that Queen
Victoria’s great-grand-daughter has been turned out of her castle, Schloss
Norder Kirchen, by the U.S.
forces, and the Count-Bishop of Munster
has deplored the obstruction of his palace and cathedral. On this side, the Bishop of Gloucester has
protested against the present dreadful gloating over the destruction of Germany
and its art treasures, but what is his voice among so many?
