Friday
Another lovely dawn. Nothing happened at all last night. Felt strained today, and did not get through a very great quantity of work. Went to the bank, and found I had not so much money as I thought. My current account is now overdrawn £3.8.2, and on deposit I have only £202.19.10. I have £11 in cash, but that is all. Must consider seriously selling Robin. I owe about £16-£20 to various people.
Went off early this afternoon and had tea at the Roses at Boxted. Early in the evening, as I was looking across the steep little valley towards the village, I heard the cuckoo, the first this year.
Cycled on to Lawford in the dusk. Had hardly got to bed when a huge flight of bombers began to go out, I could see several in the light of the moon, and could hear voices from the cottages in the lane as people came out to look at them.

ReplyDeleteI've got around to converting Rudsdale money worries in to today's values
He would be overdrawn by £108
He would have on deposit £6,442
He would have cash of £350
He would owe between £510 - £637
I wonder if he was very careful with his money or better paid than we might imagine!
