Martha + kids here, former went to see the Fair. Kids quite alright. They forgot the highly valued Teddy Bear in kid’s ? and the latest toys, so there must have been an upheaval at bed time. Am going to take them back tomorrow. Went to the cinema in the evening (Vadrózsa) the piece was not too bad…

Had all sorts of misgivings as to the validity of las conf. but think it is just over scrupulousness, will mention all however next time which must be soon. Am terrible shocked to find more and more in my past which should have been told. Awful how one forgets the nastiest little and great sins, not…

As a consequence of yesterday’s desolate atmosphere I had a rather restless night and a nasty little dream in the morning about a bridal bouquet with our myrtle greens in it. If I would be the least bit superstitious I would be certain that this afternoon either poor Michael or myself will pass…

The weather is really quite cold, I nearly froze when coming home from church. All these troubles of the Hauer family seem to get on my nerves. I was most awfully depressed all the morning as a matter of fact if I want to be quite open I really shed some true tears on account of the poor boy. Nearly…

Spoke with Marietta on the ‘phone first, then went to see her after gymn. Or rather it should have been after gym. but somehow I lost sense of time and it was too late by the time went to change. So instead of gymn. went to have my hands manicured + to the chiropodist. Then to Marietta. Marietta was…

Was at the Cong. this morning and hoped to see Marietta. As she wasn’t there had a sort of a tight feeling that something must be wrong. So after various side tracks, going on a wild goose chase after Cica for instance etc. I called at the Hauers only to hear that my M. (?) presumptive was near to…

We didn’t get the car we chose last week after all for it turned out to be more expensive and while we had an argument about it they sold it someone else. On Friday I went to the Dr who was in the class of a gent. of no ….. (sic) to time. He couldn’t get rid of him. We waited on + on. There were two…

Yesterday we had a great trouble again in convincing Father that we really do need a new car and it is a good investment. Kellner, the man from the Opel service had to come out twice. We have been to see Father Omerovich at the Hospital St Frances of Assisi in Hűvösvölgy. It was quite an excursion.…

On Sunday Martha + family were here. Little Ervin unwell, so they were some quiter than usually. I quite enjoyed the kids. In the evening the little one gave us quite a fright. He was feverish as he woke up with a start didn’t recognize any of us. Poor kid. He got better later. They went home in a…

The whole week passed in a whirl. We had a little disagreement with Mother over the car problem last week, it lasted, the tension thereafter, for some days. Such a nasty time and I really didn’t want it to happen. We had such a lot to do all week, that I didn’t have time for anything private. Even…
