1 Apr 1943, Leo Landau's wartime diary

Went to the dentist for a filling, dull & cold and I feel the same way.

Had a unusual sensation - the killing by squash of a bed bug on my forehead while sleeping. The stench was awful and upsetting, when I realized what I had done.

The news in the papers looks good. The African situation well under control. Played bingo last night, had uncanny luck by winning 3 out of 8 games playing against 140 players.

The tobacco pouch I had lost a few days ago was returned to me. It is my luck day.
