To Ministry of Health to get my cottage uncondemned. “Can do nothing. No one can do anything. The Law must take its course.” Mother presenting her woodland to the National Trust, brought deeds. Am trying to present my cottage with it. Macleod Matheson appears to be the boss. Mother to lunch: surprisingly well. Laura to last day of Cretan exhibition. Bought me braces.
