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…

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.…

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.…

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.

I was dressed so early today that I couldn’t resist the temptation of ringing up Leo especially as I phoned him in vain yesterday. He was in, but only later, and a deaf. I promised to go to see their factory on Wednesday evening. Will have to ring him up after gymn. I’m not so sure if I’ll be going…

Went for a walk and looked at shop windows only. It was cold. We had even snow. I’ve been thinking about that awful woman who visits us in the office lately with an article for the Eu. Congress. Or rather on account of it. It is settled though, for the time being, at least.

An awful day. Scenes, frayed nerves, tears etc. Everything I hate. I made a lovely scene myself to [empty space here in the diary] Mother out of the bedroom where she locked herself in. It worked splendidly. I nearly laughed though scenes do tire me. When Vin. phoned I was in too bad mood to enjoy…

As the matter was of no importance to me I didn’t hurry the least to ‘phone to Leo with the result that he ‘phoned and asked for me. We arranged to meet at noon. I didn’t like it on the afterthought. Had a lot to attend to before so left trying on my new two piece for later and was punctual at the…

Though I decided to I couldn’t go to that course for guides to day. It is really too bad. It might have meant such a chance of meeting English people. My people are always good at spoiling chances for me, this time too they could only see that it meant my going off early to day and perhaps a whole…
