Being quite curious how did it happen on Saturday, I rang up Leon very early. He couldn’t speak much being in hurry(?), just told me that his brother was called in to military service in spite of being a 50 percent invalid and having gone through a serious operation quite recently. They were trying…

The usual Sunday. Went to confession which did a lot of good. Never again will I do anything like happened in my “dark” past. Couldn’t speak with Leon all day. I’m fed up with the man. Saw Azurexpress in the Kamara in the…

Was awfully hard to decide. I resolved not to give in any more but I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been so strong if it would have actually come to tell him so. Fortunately I was preserved from that. It wasn’t too early when I rang him up and the line was occupied. Later my call wasn’t answered. Same…
