Bought some material for a blouse and dress. Both blue, took them to the dressmaker at once, but she wasn’t in.

Just an ordinary Sunday. Meant to play tennis but never can manage in the morning and in the afternoon it was a bit late by the time I returned from the cemetery. As a matter of fact I felt awfully lazy and it is so difficult to start things. I wish the Club wouldn’t have moved to that other place. Can’t run about the streets in socks and stockingless in this weather. Besides it was easy enough to come home from across the road if there weren’t any people but after walking about 10 minutes to the new place I couldn’t risk it. I don’t think they are on the line either. I’m wondering of it is worth the fee to play this year. I won’t have much time. Nearly until the end of June I’ll have lectures, at least till about the middle of the month, in August Mother + Father’ll be away, I hope, in Sept. it gets dark early an I mean to go somewhere too. So the large fee, the subscription would be a bit like throwing out money. Yet I would like to play sometimes. It really is too bad. Will have to find a way out. Until I have my gymn lessons it is not so bad, but if they’ll be stopped I’ll have to look out for a bit of exercise. Don’t want to put on weight.

This was a mad rushed morning again. The beloved ladies here, then one of the Nurses from the Grey Sisters. ‘Phone calls etc. I’ve been waiting for the car to be ready as they were going out, so was late at the swimming bath. We had an appointment there with Vin. on Tuesday. He was even later, however on account of some banking business. I was nervous and a bit upset and strained so wasn’t the gay company should have been. Besides his teasing upsets me too I felt hurt though I realized I’ve been saying much the same things often to him to tease him poor dear. I wonder if he takes it in the same way. We had a lovely time otherwise but it was short. Had to go out in the afternoon again felt actually strained. Later it passed however. Would have been too late for that Red Cross’s lecture, so managed one-more business affair. We had a long walk to the place with Cica and a good talk. It was cold.

The two ladies, we adore, appeared again, but now we are more prepared and according to their system we let them speak but repeat only our opinion + conditions. So they find us hard to deal with at last. Phoned to Leon as he didn’t ring me up which means either he is ill or in trouble or waited for my ‘phone call on Monday in vain which is quite unbelievable. However it was latter. I have a grave suspicion that my not phoning at the break of day served him as an excuse for not waiting for my call. I suppose he is sorry he ever meant to show the works or mentioned anything the like. How awfully silly of me ever to have the slightest <empty space in the diary> on his account. Now at last I must drop him. He is to be away for a few days.

Fst aid course this evening. Late, like usually. We are learning bandaging arms and fingers. Otherwise nothing special so far. A nurse is giving the lecture. The Dr was there too but was prevented to stay by sth or other. The nurse is a funny middle aged person. Talks in a mildish way. Spoke about the modern way of shamelessness of women. I’m  afraid she is right. I tried to solve the meaning of the faces of the ladies present while she spoke. I’ve been wondering if some reflected slight embarrassment only or was it guilt. No one had the idea of scrutinizing the features of others however like I had the impertinence to do so. But really it is most interesting. Like looking at people at some scenes in the cinema, when they are unaware of it. I would like to catch Vin. unaware sometimes, but when we are together it is impossible. Once perhaps or twice when he was looking for me. He had a lost expression which was most illogical as I was lost at the time. Leon too, the other day when deep in thoughts about some business matter, he had quite a childish innocent expression for some moments. But he felt it when I stared at him attentively. I wish I could see inside people a bit and just only to make conclusions according to the outward expression which might be misinterpreted sometimes.

Kids here yesterday. They are much less trouble now than they used to be. Father unwell. – It is cold and rainy, hadn’t the least wish to play tennis as I intended. April is like Dec. this year. – I sent a note and two tablets to Vin. I’m sure he’ll be in need of it. Besides this gives him a good chance of excusing himself in case he doesn’t want to see me. I mean the cold I gave the ide of. ‘Phoned Leon as I promised but no one took off the receiver. So I suppose he is away.

Awfully cold. Vin. rang me up. I was most depressed at the time. Still the influence of my encounter with the other dear person. How silly. Both are going away for holidays. Really Vin. talks as much as an elderly female at times. I suppose at such times when I don’t come up to the point. Poor boy. – Next week he is on leave.

Spring cleaning in full swing. Somehow the house looks only the worse for it. – I went to fetch my new pink undies at Cica’s. Am most disappointed the pattern on the material is not at all to my taste. Can’t be helped now though I think I’ll try to put in some colour by means of needlework.

Rang up Leon and we made an appointment for noon. Both of us was most punctual. Only I went in at one side of the building while he on the other + both of us came out on a different door. Eventually we met at the car to the great diversion of the driver. He was nice + I tried hard to sound nice too. He is awfully downhearted on account of this Jewish question on board and his family. I felt awfully sorry for him. Most ridiculous but I did my best to console the man. Naturally I wouldn’t tell him about Vin. under the circumstances. Would have seemed like letting down friends in need.

Was awfully busy all day. In the afternoon had to manage some business calls. Was late for gymn. too + of course for the call at Leons too. Wouldn’t have been proper to go at that time of the night.
