Father came home this morning. The Dr doesn’t say much. He is to go in about twice a week, if anything goes wrong Dr. Hempel is to be called. Father seems to be rather weak and the operation didn’t help in the way we thought. I think our old Dr will be dropped. If only Vin. would be at home he at…

Early in the morning Leon rang me up. It seem we have a different outlook as he apparently was most pleased about yesterday. He is to go abroad on business any day now. Yesterday’s was a farewell visit, though he may not know it. I had a long talk with Dr Szücs the gentleman next room to my Father’s…

Father to come home in two days only. It seems they think another operation is necessary. I. e. they started the sort which is done in two phases. I hate these people. One of the Drs (Hempel) remembered me on account of my appendicitis years ago. He even remembered the room I was in. I couldn’t…

Today Mother went in to see the Drs. It seems she was a bit upset and told them her opinion. Serves then right. Father is to come home tomorrow. I speak with Leon nearly every day. Today we made an appointment to meet in the afternoon, but I phoned him too late so it was off.

Mother much better, but now Father in bad condition. Went to see Margareth in the afternoon in Budakeszi. The place is dusty. Her husband on leave too, we had a gay time. The kid sweet. Weather hot. Leon sent the car to fetch me, I was taken to their place in order to fetch him and give him a little…

Mother a bit better. It turned cold yesterday. Spoke with Leon in the evening.

Mothers birthday and  she very ill yesterday. I rang up Vin. twice on account of her. This morning he came, was sweet gave some sound advice and prescribed medicine. We went part of the way together. So this is this.  – Went to the Bank for the passports + to pay my debt I made yesterday. It was a…

It is very hot. Had a letter from Bayana she is going to England in a fortnight time. Happy girl. Will have to write her before that. Phoned Leo but a bit late and only his brother was in. It seems we are getting quite good friends. After dinner I rang up Vin. on account of our last talk. I have an…

Phoned to Leon again, spoke with his brother. He is away and to return in about a fortnight. He asked me what message is to send him in his letter, so I just sent my own particular greetings. He was nice. Such a pity they are not Catholics. But then I’d have never met Vin. I suppose, or if I’d have…

Was in town + on business. Bought a funny yellow straw hat. I believe it was too expensive or rather I overpaid it + it looks strange. Vin. ‘phoned while I was out. I thought I won’t return his call, but did so later on. It was silly of me. Apparently he was only a bit conscience stricken on…
