2nd March 1940

The three of us have been sat round the kitchen table for most of the night with Edie and this big old book of hers.  Not a printed book like I imagined, but a lot of hand written notes in a tiny scrawly hand.  Now I see why it took her so long to find something in it, there’s no index!  But the conclusion that we reached is not a good one.  It seems that if I really have been cursed then the only thing I can do to shake it off is to have a baby – create a new life.  But as I said to Edie, how can I if they keep ending up in hospital or under cars?  Mrs F suggested that I hang around with a few servicemen but I’m not doing that!  Mum and Dad would disown me!  So that’s that then.  We discussed John for some time and decided that he was an accident waiting to happen anyway.  But I have decided on no more dates for the present.  Perhaps I need to sneak up on someone gradually.  Joan tells me not to be so daft and its all a heap of claptrap anyway.  Just coincidence.
