President Cosgrave and some of the Free State ministers have visited Cork within the last few days, and they were present at the centenary in St. Vincent’s. – Had some great fighting at school to-day. Was disgusted to find that the cloth for my new trousers has been sold out, so I will only have to wear out my short-trousered suit and get a new one at Xmas. – I have some very curious peculiarities of thought. The week is always reflected in my brain as follows: Monday – dark green, Tuesday – light green, Wed. – red, Thurs – white, Friday – grey, Sat – black and Sunday – white. I always picture the week as a slab with different colours. This seems to have originated when I was very young and Páp was in the camp. Monday and Tues were middling days, accordingly green. Wed. was a hated day, as Mám was all day teaching at the School. Thurs was a delightful day, as Mám had no teaching and no Cathedral. Friday – grey because Nannie used to come with fish. Sat. black, most hated day in week, as Mám was working all day. Sunday white because no school, and went with Mám to Cathedral.
