Nov 26th Tuesday
Here we are still alive and kicking  Last night was a quiet night so quiet that it seemed uncanny.  But Guns were going in the distance this morning  the sirens have sounded once this morning  Sat 23rd was very very Hectic  the alarm went at 6.20 pm  Masses came over & did we put up a barrage.  the heaviest I\u2019ve ever heard  a few got overhead & dropped their Cards  Basin St had a Bomb  Drayton Road School again & some at Milton where two Students were running for shelter & got killed Incendiarys good lot: & as we have a Good Fire Service & all [illegible] we did not fare so badly but poor Southampton was well ablaze  our Fire service went to help.  Mr Ford was one of them & he didn\u2019t think much of their system  Had it been better Jerry would not have had the satisfaction of saying it could be seen (the Flames on the French Coast.  Lionel started from Windsor at 6.30 hoping to get down here Saturday night  he walked in as the clock was striking 7 AM Sunday morning  I\u2019ve just had a money order for 1-10-0. wired from Joan wanting me to go up there but Dick is now at Arundel & I expect I\u2019ll go there  as much as I\u2019d like to go up I feel it\u2019s too far. from home  in fact I really dont know What I want do just stay here or go.  the Bombing doesn\u2019t worry me it\u2019s the loneliness that gets me down  I should hate to be away if my house was struck with an incendiary  I\u2019m going to try & write the German communiqu\u00e9 down each day & note the lies & truth they tell  1.30 the Sirens are sounding the warning again each time I pick up this book in which to write they sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
