Was silly enough to ring up my dear exfriend last night quite late and to insist that this was the limit. After my brother brought back Magda’s theatre ticket for tonight I was even more silly to try and give the man one more chance. Asked him if he was free for the night which of course he wasn’t. What more he promised to ring me back after his return from town which naturally didn’t happen. Asked Marietta to come, refused to, asked Vin. too but he was just after or rather at the end of an inflated throat so couldn’t get out at night + good thing he didn’t either, there was an awful fog.  At last I thought why should I ask strangers when I have my family so I asked Martha and she come though somewhat reluctantly. The piece was rather good especially the 3^rd act a good comedy. Enjoyed it. Met the Dvoraks there, they seem to have the same tickets.
