8th April 1941

9.15pm sirens. 10.00pm all clear and another alert from 2-2.30am but I let the family sleep through it. Ann came and offered us another kitten as a cat belonging to a woman who already has six cats, was going to have kittens and Ann said she would have too many if she kept kittens also!
Daddy has made several pretty chairs,one a rocking chair for Ann. She is always bringing us wild flowers. It is awfully difficult to remain quiet and not call to Bertie when I hear sirens at night, but I do not want to wake Marion unnecessarily.
