6th Thur.&#13;
Came home ill from the office, Mother had to come &amp; fetch me, disgraced myself by being sick in the Station Yard at Surbiton. Dr came to see me I am to stay in bed until he comes tomorrow.&#13;
&#13;
[page break]&#13;
&#13;
7 Fri.&#13;
No Dr today, he is too busy to come, strange. Have finished ‘The Strong City’ which I enjoyed immensely &amp; have now a great number of murders to get through, though only in books.&#13;
&#13;
8 Sat.&#13;
Dr came again today &amp; I can get up, which is a relief. Came down &amp; listened to the wireless. The Saturday Night Theatre was very good. Cecil Parker took chief role.&#13;
&#13;
[page break]&#13;
&#13;
9 Sun.&#13;
Another lazy day. The Dr came this afternoon with his bag of tricks &amp; tested me for the screws. No result, an x-ray is the next thing. I do love these elegant poses.&#13;
&#13;
10 Mon.&#13;
The is nothing to do so there is nothing to put in a diary. Eat, sleep &amp; read.&#13;
&#13;
[page break]&#13;
&#13;
11 Tues.&#13;
Still eat, sleep &amp; read.&#13;
&#13;
12 Wed.&#13;
Phoned up the Doctor &amp; had to go to the [deleted] Doctor [/deleted] Hospital for an appointment for my X ray. I had to drink down the awful whitewash stuff.&#13;
&#13;
[page break]&#13;
&#13;
13 Thur.&#13;
Went for my X ray today. After the 1st one was allowed a cup of tea, don’t think one has ever tasted so good &amp; that is saying something.&#13;
&#13;
14 Fri.&#13;
Went out today to enjoy myself &amp; felt so awful that I was glad to get home. Saw ‘Now Voyager’ with Bette Davis it was very good.&#13;
&#13;

&#13;
15 Sat.&#13;
To say that it was a foggy day would be underestimating it, the trollies &amp; buses stopped running.&#13;
&#13;
16 Sun.&#13;
Still foggy but not [underlined] quite [/underlined] so bad. Just sat &amp; sat, read &amp; played patience.&#13;
&#13;
[page break]&#13;
&#13;
17 Mon.&#13;
Started back at work, felt a bit wobbly &amp; strange. Mr Miller had me up &amp; said I wasn’t to worry about Eastwoods. Managed to do Mr Hoare’s figures. Home early.&#13;

May 1944&#13;
&#13;
6 Sat.&#13;
Very lazy day, must be getting old, because I enjoyed it. Did a great deal of knitting a little sleeping &amp; some reading. Good play on the wireless, made me cry. Gladys Young excellent.&#13;
&#13;
7 Sun.&#13;
Another lazy day, got up at 9.30. Did some house work, wrote a letter or two washed my hair. Finished Jacks socks, two stitches wrong, spoils the whole thing.&#13;
