Friday
Felt better, but headache, in
fact ached all over, but cough practically gone. Did not sleep much before 4am, but slept then
until 9. Wakened by birds, the sound of
the cows coming up, the postman’s knock.
Jacquie brought me a cup of tea.
Jacquie went off to her sister-in-law’s to
lunch, dressed in spotted fur-coat and trousers, like a little Eskimo.
Another disaster – the cooking
stove has gone wrong.
The sun came out, the first time
we have seen it since Monday, but the weather was very cold. A lot of planes flying about.
Just as we were settling down for
a quiet evening, there was a tremendous commotion at the door, and in came Jacquie's mother, Mrs. Roe. In the middle of this heavy
firing began, not that she took any notice of it. For once I was not particularly
frightened, although I found it less easy to attend to Mrs Roe’s never ending stream of chatter. Got to bed at 10, thankful to get away from
Mrs R.
