Last night a good time was had by all. Six of us went to a cinema at Hendon and saw an excellent French film called Drame de Shanghai. After the film we stumbled through the blackout to a restaurant where we ate frankfurter sausages and sauerkraut and laughed immoderately. On our return, Joyce's car refused to go and after pushing it miles down roads assisted by taxi drivers and pursued by buses the other four went home to sign us in before 9.30, leaving Joyce and me to park the car in the Hendon Way and walk across half the aerodrome to the MT⁷ sheds and a driver Joyce knew who would retrieve and mend it for her. It was a wonderful walk – stars and a clear sky and the wind in our hair. Joyce and I are trying to get out of our present house for one where we can have a room to ourselves and a little less of this hearty communal living.
