Wednesday 24th January 1940

Not on duty this half holiday so – after 30 minutes sleep in a fireside chair at billets! – I went to Nottingham and met Lucy Eileen. Saw a lovely film, full of sentiment and memory-beauty. We both shed tears! Afterwards she took me to a quaint little café called The Granary. Coffee, curried beans on toast and welsh rarebit. (She also likes savouries!)
