Thursday,
Jan 1 - We went to be about 10.30. We had f..... well and were lying
relaxed afterwards when I switched on the radio and we heard Big Ben
strike 12. Not only a new year but a new decade. Almost inevitably
wonder whether if I shall see the end of it. The heart surgeon at the
Radcliffe said he thought he could “keep my batteries charged” til the
summer, which will bring me to the Keble Jubilee anyway.
Got
Mary an early cup of tea and breakfast in bed, did chores, cat’s food,
cat’s box, washing up, bedmaking, ashes and fuel. Mary’s mother always
gave her a handkerchief on New Year so managed to find one in Burford.
This pleased her.
