My little holiday in Zebegény was quite nice. Weather cool, but it just came in time as I couldn’t bathe, it cleared by Sunday when we had a jolly dip. The place is most picturesque, one can make lovely walks and excursions. The village is very pretty with little gardens full of flowers, crooked…

Came to Zebegény in the afternoon. Suggested Mariatta’s husband to join us as Brother was taking me. We met her Father too, so we were quite a party when we arrived. Weather foul, but we hope it’ll clear.

To day I returned the little car to it’s rightful owner so now at last Mother needn’t be anxious. In the afternoon, was in town on business.

It was awful job last week to get ready with everything by the time our parents arrived. They were a day earlier too then expected, arrived on Wednesday. They look alright, the holiday did at least their nerves good. I’ve been going about with the little car every day, though Mother doesn’t like it…

On Friday I went to St. Margareth Island to an evening performance with Pertile the Italian singer. A ballet followed. It was Irene who produced the tickets, she rang me up in the morning. We were still in the most awful mess as the painter has not finished, but I didn’t mind and made her sit down…

We are in a most awful mess. Some of the walls are being distempered and one cleaned. Never thought it meant all this. Can’t move from dirt. Of course couldn’t keep appointment on Tuesday. ‘Phoned it off, arranged for Wednesday, but couldn’t keep it either. Didn’t ‘phone however. This time I’ll only…

Much the usual Sunday. Went to a late Mass, washed my hair, arranged a meeting with Martha at Marietta’s. Met her brother too, the darling. I mean he was a dear not to make me feel ridiculous when the car ran out of petrol the other day. Can’t forget how sympathetic he sounded and didn’t look amused…

This has been a most exciting day. I went to church early in the morning, got up about 5.40. Went to confession too. By the way had a driving exercise yesterday and promised to come to day again, but ‘phoned it off, but what I actually want to come to is, that I was at the Jesuitst and asked for…

This morning I heared both from Margareth and Dr. Laki; I don’t know what am I coming to but I had quite a queer sort of feeling when I saw his letter. It is the silliest of things to let myself go like this when most probably I mean nothing at all to him. Why should I we hardly knew each other,…

This afternoon I had to go in town early on business (Suppan) and passing one of those driving institutes I had a brain wave and went in to enquire. Result an immediate lesson. I got a quite well I think. Really it is a shame not to be able to drive when owning licence. I did feel ashamed at times,…
