Thursday
Up 7.30, to the sound of ‘planes warming up at Langham,
showing how the wind lay. Had a good
night.
On the lawn at Holly Trees saw Poulter testing stirrup-pumps
from the Castle – they had not been touched since they were installed 18 months
ago. He told me that somebody had broken
into the loft over the Prehistoric Galleries and had opened all the chests and
boxes, strewing African idols, axes, swords, etc all over the place. Hull, on being told, refused to take the
slightest interest. Nobody can tell if
anything has been stolen or not.
Busy day trying to get a lot of things cleared up before I
go next week. Always hate going away
from any job, never seems worth the trouble.
Much talk lately about getting a new office, as there is
no hope of extending in the Holly Trees.
Ministry of Works ‘phoned through from Cambridge this morning to tell us
we can have the derelict shop at the corner of Maldon Road and Alexandra Rd. -
used to belong to a greengrocer, and has recently been an NFS station. Quite useless to us.
Left office at 5, and went home for 2 hours. Mother very anxious to know where I am going,
so told her Wales , but shall
probably go to Inverness .
Lawford 8.30. Had a
lovely supper. How kind they are.
