  Feb. 5 Excellent day today – Dr. Seddon on Peripheral Nerves all day. Course closed at 4:30 p.m. At 6:15 p.m. attended Adelphi Theatre and saw "Dancing Years", a musical play which has been running all through the war. As good a show as I have ever seen.
  Feb. 6 Arrived home in Worthing at 2:30 p.m. Will not get back into normal routine again. Expect to be inspected by the King on Thursday.
  Feb. 7 Am going out to Spofforths for dinner tonight. was just talking to Ed Brown on phone. He is coming to visit on Tuesday afternoon, so am looking forwards to a good day. Have just heard that Frank Fish anaesthetist at No. 14 Gen. Hosp., and Hess is there as a patient.
  Feb. 8 Ed arrived about 2:30. I removed a cyst from the face and then he stayed and visited until about midnight. Today is rainy and wet and we are all terribly busy getting ready for the bid day tomorrow at 5:30 p.m. Another air raid. Planes very low but hidden by clouds. Dropped a few bombs and did some machine gunning.
