_. 9th Sunday after Trinity
Sue and Pete are home from Cornwall and are keeping very quiet about their holiday. Have things not gone well, perhaps? I suppose they are upset that Lynn & Dave are continuing the 'grand tour' without them. They [Lynn and Dave] are moving on to the Gribble Inn at Little Torrington, Devon. Dave is looking forward to the strip-tease act which takes place in this disgraceful tavern every Friday.
Saw three Alfred Hitchcock films today in celebration of the old boy's 80th birthday tomorrow. 'Thirty Nine Steps' in the afternoon, and 'To Catch a Thief' and 'Psycho' in the evening.
Maria with JPH and Catherine called here in the afternoon, but didn't stay long.
I am paralysed from the waist down and my eyes have gone square.
