'Another lovely day: almost too hot to do anything. I've been depressed all day after reading Churchill's speech. It's a grim thought that in the event of an invasion the powers that be will continue the war from somewhere in the Empire. Then we shall have the joy of an enemy in our midst, and the RAF bombing us overhead.'
