On Monday had a long talk with Martha on the ‘phone result of which was an outing, Atrium, ? is a crowd. The piece is rather funny but slightly mixed. Mr Dudus (?) on the bus when coming home. – On Tuesday went to the National Theatre (Tündöklő Jeromos). The piece a rather modern one, was much…

We didn’t get the car we chose last week after all for it turned out to be more expensive and while we had an argument about it they sold it someone else. On Friday I went to the Dr who was in the class of a gent. of no ….. (sic) to time. He couldn’t get rid of him. We waited on + on. There were two…

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…

Am not quite sure if it was on Monday or Tuesday, but we had an awful row with Mother on a trivial thing. I teared up, so it was my fault, but her hard headedness caused it. I said the car might be changed and she simply stated she won’t have it. Gave no other reason except that it is not her will…

Last night passed well enough, though I did have a queer feeling thinking of Vin’s engagement party. Poor little girl. Wonder what will become of all this tangle. They are of a very good family. Well, time will solve all problems. – An awfully nasty weather for Xmas, pouring rain. We went to the…

After a lot of ‘phoning with Leon on my part our meeting was off. He had a French friend coming. Really the man is the limit. Let me do all the talking. I was at the (empty space) in the evening. The ship was 30 minutes late and Maria was the latest in coming. Somehow she is smaller than I imagined…

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…

We went shopping with Martha, bought myself a new hat, but somehow the colour doesn’t suit me. – This morning I was quite upset as I had an appointment with Leo on the phone and he didn’t ring me up in time. I just put a cross beside his name in my calendar in various places to signify that now he…
