Wedding anniversary of the parents. Both rather moved. Gave them a wall vase.

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…

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…

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,…

Brother + Father went to take over the new car and I went to have my passport renewed. The friend to whom I went was out so it had to be postponed.

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.…

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…
