Saturday 17th February

Today the people are walking about with ease & comfort.   When you meet anyone you know they greet you with "Well how do you feel?  Isn't it a relief to think we can walk about without expecting to be knocked down by a 100 pounder!"   All the stores are open and everyone is dressed up & gone out.   If one had been doing penal servitude for a number of years the release would not have been greater then the relief we got last Thursday afternoon.
