Quiet night, and had some sound
sleep, without dreams. Many ‘planes
going out between 6 and 7. Amusing
rumours at the office that these long strips of paper, dropped to confuse the
radar systems, are really coated with germs.
Quite a lot of the country folks believe this. Newspapers printing a lot of stuff about 10
ton “rocket bombs” which may be expected very soon.
The ‘diver’ I heard yesterday
evening was at Peldon, near the Reservoir.
Capt. Folkard was at Abberton and saw it crash. Not much damage though, except for some
windows.
This evening went down to Peldon
with Daphne, and then to Copt Hall, thinking we might ride Robin, but the
saddles and bridles have gone. Lovely
evening. Crops mostly look well, but
some of the Committee wheat a bit smutty.
Back to Boxted at 11 o’clock, and
heard that a Marauder from the aerodrome crashed in Mill Road today, killing
the pilot.
Felt very depressed this evening,
and sat up until midnight looking up trains in the time-tables. Hear that Dr Penry Rowland has gone away, just
when I want to see him so badly.

Feel I have to mention that when ER talks of the wheat being smutty 'smut' is a disease of wheat, a bit like a mould!
