Went to 8 Mass, and just after I went to my place after Holy Communion I felt myself very sick, and had to come out. I was walking up and down outside, quite dizzy and bilious when I got a glass of water from a lady in the Mission stall. I went to bed till breakfast and Mám said I could not go to Mass again till Sunday and could do no work to-day. More rain again, so no tennis. Read in ‘Examiner’ that poor Fr. John Aherne of the Cathedral is dead. Mám was very sad to hear it. There were several casualties and accidents all over Ireland in the storm. Read ‘Outlines of European History’, and after dinner, which I am afraid I am beginning to enjoy more every day owing to Lil’s splendid cooking, Mám and I went for a nice walk. Finished Polish and Palestine stamps, and finished in my book ancient Greece and Rome. After tea I went for tennis and found the court dried by the high wind. I had 5 sets of splendid tennis, and I and my partner won every set.
