Friday
Muggy, and inclined to be
wet. In Library most of the day, quite
lost in the discoveries there.
Tonight Art Club meeting at the house in Old Market. Eight or nine
there including Charlotte Osborne and Mrs. Jessie Swift. Took them home, and asked if either or both
would come to an orchestral concert in one of the schools tomorrow? Jessie Swift said she would. Told them about the discomfort of the house in
the Crescent, and Mrs. Swift said she would see if I could get into a very good place
next door to where she lives in Clarkson Avenue.
Had to call at the Town Hall
today, and noticed in the Town Clerk’s office the government handbill, urging
evacuation of civilians, still pasted on a board.
Seems very strange to read in the
“Advertiser” and the “Wisbech Standard” this week of shares in the water-works
being offered for sale. Difficult to
believe that privately-owned water-companies still exist. Wonder what would happen if one decided to
suspend operations?
Heard today (from Mrs Stone, wife
of a pilot) that the ‘plane crash the other night was at Ely, or near it. Heard too that King’s Cross station is said
to have been shut for several days.
Very dark tonight, not a star to
be seen.
