Part 220: Friday 16th June 1967, 3 p.m.
The trivial round resumed. Feeling of having missed boat. The Israelis have had their Stirb und Werde, and have a passionate Israeli patriotism. I have no corresponding English patriotism, and whereas in 1944/5, when I met Palestinian Jews (as they then were), one had the feeling of superior Anglo-Saxon, even British, status, obviously now one would keep rather quiet about one’s Anglo-Saxon-ness…
Part 182: Monday, 3rd January 1966, 9.45p.m.
Of the agenda listed on p.96 I have done 2) (and taken tape recorder to Wyndsor Recording Co.), 3), 5), and got book-keeping up to date, though a good deal has to be done to get the 64/65 accounts ready for audit. More time-consuming than any of these has been an a translation of an article by Aharoni, which he casually asked me if I’d mind doing. Bon prince, I said it would be quite alright, but…

Part 178: Wednesday, 1st December 1965, 9.15p.m.
Wednesday being a non-Evening Class, non-rehearsal day, should be able to get a lot done. In fact, no book-keeping, no reviewing, no schoolwork. Max chesy again, Dr Smith (Dr Covington’s woman assistant) came round three times to see him, says he can go back to school on Monday. … We had arranged to go round to Sam & Lily’s on the Sunday afternoon. E. says Lily’s invitation was lukewarm & on the…

Part 176: Wednesday, 10th November 1965, 9.15 p.m.
Sam home last Friday. He saw Ross to-day. Latter says “everything fine”. To-day a chapter of disasters at school. Caned young Ken Tyler & put his name in book – fair enough. Then caned Solomou – also fair enough. He a big though not unlikeable lout, really. In both cases, my caning was effective – good – and although I’m not entering Solomou’s, I think this is alright. Can always plead…

Part 175: Tuesday, 2nd November 1965, 10.50 p.m.
Sam continues to make satisfactory progress – he phones every day. He has placed an embargo on our visiting him, apparently there has been some infection in the hospital. The respite, truth to tell, not unwelcome. Short mid-term break -last Friday afternoon (cleared jungle at Mum’s), yesterday (shopping, bath and some book-keeping and typing at Lily’s) and to-day. Took kds to-day to see changing…

Part 159: Sunday, 18th April 1965 10.20 p.m.
Sam [brother] in bed with “congestion”. Worried. I feel he is shortening his life by doing two jobs, but don’t know the answer…[redacted discussion of financial position] We had M. and Mme Marceau round on Wednesday evening for a meal – bottle of wine, “apéritifs”, the full treatment. They brought us a Camembert. I felt I ought to show them some hospitality on the do-as-you-would-be-done-by…
