Blitz Diary

Met Don at Putney & went to Marg & Bert's to ten. Quite a pleasant evening. Mum & Dad went out with Freddie Barnard.

Went to get my engagement ring this afternoon. Lovely thing. Went to the Palace in evening with Mum & Dad. Dead show.

Finished work early. Don Beryl & I went to the Kings Arms at 1p.m. went over to Don's place. Went for a pub crawl in evening.

Don slept the night at our place. Came back in afternoon. Very quiet day but very nice. Don had to sleep at our place again.

Christmas Eve. Went off early. Beryl, Harry, Wynne, Fred & Don came over. All went up West for a drink. Not very successful.

On Fire Watch this evening. Had quite a good time. Beer & crackers for a change. Wynne gave me a very nice TT bat.

Had ½ day. Saw "Gangway" with Fred Bebe Daniels & Ben Lyon. Very good show.

Don came over in the morning but I was not ready. Winnie Johnnie & Don came in afternoon. Doris home from Blackpool.

Beryl has not got engaged yet. Fred has got six stitches in his shin. Don't know how he did it yet.

Met Sadie. Went down the Cut then had a drink. Very nice girl. Supposed to go to Don's but too dark so he came over.

Don came over. Mum, Dad & Hilda went to the Palace. Don went late.

Saw Fred. Went to the Dominion. Saw "Hi Gang" & Andy Hardy film. Had a good laugh.

Don on Home Guard. Did not go out. Did some of the knitting for Hilda.

Very dark morning. Don came over. He tried to get some beer for Christmas.
