Tuesday
Up at 6.30, pitch dark, clouds
and fog. Surprised to hear on the news
that there has been an attack last night at dusk – at the very time when I was
in Holly Trees, thinking myself quite safe on account of rain and falling
darkness.
Very low clouds, drifting across
from the SE, but they cleared, and the sun came through at times. Great excitement, as were moving the office
today to 96 Military Road. The house is on the corner of New Town Road , a
pleasant place about 40 years old, facing Camp Villas
This evening the sky cleared, and
the crescent moon showed and I was most anxious to get away as soon as I could
in case of attack. When I reached Higham just after 7 the radio was dead, but came on strong before 8. As I walked up the hill I thought I heard a very distant siren and
a bump, perhaps Ipswich .

Curious to read that they were moving their office so near to where I was living then as a little boy (on the corner of New Town Road and Gladstone Road).
The building is still there today as a residential house. I walk past it most days, it's quite a substantial building.
