    To St Catherine's meeting in morning, then we all started to pack in accordance with the latest rumour.  It sounds impossible and rather grim, but that doesn't make it any the less improbable - we were caught on the hop on Dec. 8th 1941. ((Sadly, today I have no memory of what this 'latest rumour' was:  maybe Mr Jones' diary will reveal this.))

    Olive's bed broke in the night.

    Cloudy, hot, light airs.

    Odd jobs. Rings for Pope, Mary, Brown, Raymond, Dawes & G. Window frame from P.O.C. for Leprosarium. ((Several choices for the other names. "P.O.C." = Prison Officers' Club))

    Slept on roof but rain spoilt. Full moon, eclipse. [Little pencil drawing of moon]
