A very quiet day after a quiet night yesterday  there were 5 alarms but no planes penetrated or dropped their Cards in or near Portsmouth  Lionel has just returned for 7 days leave.  he goes back on Dec: 2nd  he\u2019s been pumping the water from the Air Raid Shelter & cleared up in the garden  a very nice day<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nov 30th on the 28th we went to Arundel.  a nice day but very cold  saw Father but he is not going to stay there long  we stood & watched the planes fighting in the Sky some miles away  3\u00bd hr raid over the SE Coast. & When we returned another Raid was on but we got home alright  yesterday we went down Commercial Road & then went to the Picture  The Regent North End. at 5.30  Whilst we we in there the Siren went but we stayed and saw the full programme  very heavy Gun Fire  when we came out it was fairly quiet  Lionel & Mrs Ford walked as she had to make a call  I got on a bus and half way home the Guns opened up again  very heavy indeed  I was home first of course & the paper boy had pushed the key off the string & I couldn\u2019t get in front door  had to go round the back  didn\u2019t like being out with the shrapnel falling all around & Wished Mrs Ford & Lionel had got on the bus  was very glad when they got back safely.  the raid continued till early morning  dont think there were any bombs dropped  we have a wonderful barrage.  today has been very nice & our fighters have been going over evidently to meet Gerry outside  no Sirens so far.  sorry the siren has gone & I didn\u2019t hear them but only just gone 6.30 pm
