| Notre téléphone ne marche plus. D’autre part les autos particulières ne peuvent plus circuler. Nous sommes ainsi coupés de toute communication. Aujourd’hui de nombreux raids d’avions. Le principal -27 appareils- a déversé d’un seul coup sur la pente du Mount Davis qui nous fait face, une pluie de bombes. Bruit effroyable : toute la maison en a tremblé. | Our telephone isn’t working any more. In addition private cars are no longer allowed on the road. All our means of communication are thus cut off. A lot of air raids today. The main one – 27 aircraft – poured a rain of bombs all in one go onto the slope of Mount Davis opposite us. Fearful noise: the whole house shuddered. |
