A harassed morning again. I was in three places only but it took a time. I kept poor Gyula waiting for nearly two hours. I thought he wouldn’t be there. Was late for the Dr too, what an interesting place. – Red Cross quite interesting + for a wonder I wasn’t late.

A lot to do in the office, people coming in one after the other, sometimes three at the same time. Really we ought to have two offices, one for waiting. Gizi ‘phoned too, asking about this evenings invitation to Martha’s. Told her to expect the worse on account of building begin in … . … (sic!) Was…

Had to do in town in the morning. Was up at the German Embassy on account of Nora. A funny little man received me and talked incessantly for at least 15 minutes. By the end of it I made him realize that I wasn’t and had no inertia to be a German as he supposed me of  being. It was good fun. The…

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,…

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…

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.

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…
