Much the usual Sunday. Went to a late Mass, washed my hair, arranged a meeting with Martha at Marietta’s. Met her brother too, the darling. I mean he was a dear not to make me feel ridiculous when the car ran out of petrol the other day. Can’t forget how sympathetic he sounded and didn’t look amused…

Margareth phoned in the morning asking if she could come. Of course I was glad to see her here at last. It seems it does Mother good too to speak with someone sometimes. Martha was here in the morning too.

I don’t understand my people the least. Don’t know how Mother is or what exactly is the matter with her. They tell me nothing. It really is maddening. It sems either nothing serious is the matter with her or something too bad for effective help. Seem my three months holiday abroad is definitely off.…

Was mad enough to ring up dear Leon this morning. Didn’t want to finish the year with this misunderstanding, but he seem to be hard headed as a mule. Nasty too. He promised, or let us be quite true, I made him promise to meet in the evening. I was to ring him up which I did. Have a good reason to…

Had a long talk with Leon in the morning. Took ‘phone to office which upset a bit Mother. We had a nice long talk. He sounds old and disheartened. Became quite good friends again, but didn’t sound too eager to meet me. As a matter of fact said it couldn’t be before Xmas. I know they are very busy…

Tried to speak with Leon today before going to gymn. Our talk had to have an abrupt ending.

Quite mad of me, but again I thought I would give Leon a chance and let him accompany me home after gymn. So I rang him up in the afternoon. He recognized my voice and put down the receiver. I know we made appoint of doing so if a ring came at the wrong moment, but this time it was the very very…

 Was silly enough to ring up my dear exfriend last night quite late and to insist that this was the limit. After my brother brought back Magda’s theatre ticket for tonight I was even more silly to try and give the man one more chance. Asked him if he was free for the night which of course he wasn’t.…

Last week was nothing exceptional generally, from personal point of view rather a washout. On Monday morning I found out Leon meant to make an appointment previous day. He should have tried harder. Still felt a bit shaky so stayed at home. Leo went to the cinema. He promised to ring me up but…

Of course I didn’t ‘phone Leon yesterday though I promised to. After all if he is so curious about my welfare he can take the trouble too. Cemetery in the evening met Magdi when coming out. Heared later news of course. Slightly milder than casually. Now at least I have an idea of idle talk.…
