Slept out again, so got no Mass. Sorted out the stamps Julia gave me, and hadn’t I 34 fine fellows. After making breakfast, washing up, going to town for messages, we got the dinner ready. After Fr. Pat actually invited me up to Dunmanway for a few days, and then we will meet Mám at Kinsale Junction, have a picnic, drive home, and Fr. Pat will stay with us. Julia came about 5, and Fr. Pat was kind enough to buy a box of chocolates to give to her and a lovely cake for tea. I showed Julia my stamp album, ‘Lands and Peoples’, air gun, trapeze, and then my ‘Grasserl’ the top, as in days of yore. Julia told us all about London at tea. When we drove Mám and she down town, for they were going to the pictures, and we started for Dunmanway. I drove most of the way. We stopped at Inchigeela for Miss MacSwiney and Fr. Sullivan, a really charming type of hospitable Irish priest, gave us tea at 11! Then home in dark and bed at 12.30.
