Yesterday we had a London fog. It is all we have heard of it and more. It rained in the morning and about 12.30pm it came down a beaut fog. I went out to lunch at 1.45 and the street light were on and also the electric signs and the lights of vehicles. It was just like night with gusts of the soupy stuff called fog all around. They stayed on until night fall and I have not been out today so do not know what the weather is like today but it certainly is brighter.

This weather would kill me in about 12 months and I am longing for the sunshine again - hope to be lucky enough to get some in Paris next week.

I am going over on my pat ["alone" Cockney Rhyming Slang] if I cannot find a mate but think I have one, a young NZ doctor of about 25 summers so we should have a good time.
