[Continued from Tuesday 13th October, 1964]

A much milder morning and inclined to be wet but after midday it became sunny and very warm. Managed to cut hedge behind greenhouse and have made further progress with the plot between that point and the garage. Wonder how you have been getting on with the refusal of the Underground men to work the winter schedules? On TV last night one of the men out said they were sorry the public was inconvenienced but they were doing it for them – to increase the services – as much as for themselves. What cheek. Another case of ‘I’m all right Jack’.

A reply from Don this morning says they will come up on the 20th inst. as he has to go into Taunton for a check-up on the 22nd.

No more now. All the best June on Friday when you visit specialist. All our love to you both and lots of kisses for the girls. Mum and Dad.

P.S. forgot Mercury so posting it Thursday with letter.
