Transcript
  • Dec 29 Thursday Got up for early lunch & went to Rennes in Priour's car with Beryl & Dorothy. Got out £60 in francs (at 177) and had coffee with Anita. Then had one tooth stopped (painless) & another (the dead one) drawn – almost painless [–] by a sweet little dentist with curly beard & side whiskers who lives above Anita. Anita stayed with me during. Beryl, Alan & Dorothy paid for a copper brazier I found (150 francs): for my Christmas present. Bellows bought Got a porcelain nib (with which this is written) with a fluted point. Anita & Miguel gave us a bottle of Ron Escarchado . Two bad skids on the road & one near-accident with a bus. Margaret has a job, at 100 Gloucester Place. To bed early on return. Marie working again.
