Dad's back from London and it is like all the oxygen and life and laughter has gone from the house.  Mum is sort of slinking about and my sisters locked themselves away in their bedroom and listened to records ever so quietly because Dad's been in a ghastly mood ever since he came through the door.  Mummy made the lovliest supper for us all, but the tension at the table made me lose my appetite. 

I can't write much, Mummy is calling me now to come and get my schoolbooks off the kitchen table.
