St Andrew's Day {Scotland}
It's late so I'm going to be brief. Didn't venture out for the usual orgy of ales and delights of the female form ~ party due to the poor state of my finances, but mainly due to the heavy fog. Very dense and nasty it was.
Jim and Margaret came here at 8:30 and we watched a Greta Garbo film on the BBC.
The Prince of Wales is in Brussels on a visit to the EEC headquarters and tonight he dined with King Baudouin and Queen Fabiola at Laeken Palace. Princess Marie-Astrid was not present though she frequently stays with her uncle, the Belgian king. I do not want HRH to marry a foreign princess when these islands of ours are swarming with English roses. It is heart rending to know that the prince is going on to Spain for the weekend with the Duke of Wellington and Lady Jane Wellesley ~ reputedly a 'shooting weekend'. I do wish he'd pull his finger out.
Bed at 12 o'clock. Susan was in all evening.

Arrive back in England. Home. Bed at 1am. Back in England's green and pleasant land.
It was a very rough, unpleasant crossing from Belgium. Everyone sick - except me. I quite enjoyed it.
