Christmas Day today. Able to walk a little bit better today. Lou and Les came for dinner. Nice to see them but a lot of work for Nell. Dot, Ron and Jane came.

Woke up at home this morning. First time for over five weeks. A bit rough walking on my leg as yet but early days, I suppose. I had a nice, quiet day in the chair.

Got up today after Partridge made his round. Feel very weak but going home, thank God. Ambulance came about 3.30. Got home about 5. Les helped me in.

Today is another red letter day. I had the plaster changed and those awful clamps and splint taken off. Tomorrow, please God, I can walk on it and get home to Nell.

It is five weeks today since I came into the hospital. Please Got, it will the the last. Dear Nell came again tonight. I hope and pray I will soon be back home with her.

Yet another Sunday has come but it seems just like any other day. Nell and Dot came to see me which was very pleasant. Harry Welch also came to see Len. Also, Len’s wife.

Doctor Lewis came round this morning and told me that they would take the plaster off and go home Wednesday. No visitors last night but saw Mrs Welch , been to visit Len.

Another day as the others. Sid Faulkner came to see me this a.m. and gave me an ounce of Four Square. Nell and Dot came tonight. So nice to see them both.

A day just like all the others. Nothing unusual happened. At night, Les Cottrel, Ern Williams and Bill Smith came to see me. Mrs Welch and her daughter came to see Len Davies.

Partridge never came round today so I’m as wise as ever. Nell came and all will be fine between us when I get home. Les Davies from Puddington came in today.
