- Thursday Nov 12 Madrid still holding out after four days. Breakfast in bed – first time (except for the Axe at Arkesden) for a long time. Excellent home cooking. To Ham: recommended oranges & rest. Said I have no 'sugar'. On way back bought silver shell earrings 5/-, silver ring for myself 1/3d, and (6d) silver centrepiece for a necklace which I strung with black glass, garnet, silver lustre. Laura bought Crown Derby sugar bowl (8/6) Probably final version of Before Bedlam . Restrung garnet necklace as choker. In bed most of day. Read, or half-read, Dorothy Sayers 5 Red Herrings: arch, complicated, boring. Nightmare of rats on bed: mice? There are mice in this flat.
