9th November 1939

Been bothered by Gordon twice today.  First off I had the pleasure of his company as I walked to work again.  He seems to wait for me – I reckon he’s listening for the front door going.  So tomorrow I’m going to try sneaking out the back.  Then, after tea, I went out the back to shake the tablecloth because Mrs Kelly’s bread is ever so crumbly.  There I am with just the moon for company and next thing his head bobs above the wall giving me a right fright.  He called out a hello to me like a daft donkey.  I just shook the cloth and dashed back inside calling out goodnight behind me so that I didn’t seem rude.  I think that’s my trouble.  I’m going to have to start being off-ish with him or I’ll never shake him.
