Written today.

It was a very unusual day today. We went to Belfast in the morning. It was an awful journey and I was sick […] They had to stop the bus twice for me. We were divided into two groups. Our group first went to the Ulster Museum. It was very good & there was a picture of Daddy there. Then we went to the O & A Level exhibition in Stranmillis College. It was really excellent indeed. We were allowed 1 class for lunch […]

That's all. Time 25 to 1.

Bomb outside John F Gibbons. Windsor Ave all evacuated to Salvation Army hostel. Bomb still out Belfast Road.
