Day 5 :

I feel that writing my diary is a waste of time because l might die tomorrow . So ,what ‘ s the use of carrying
on ?.

Day 6 :

As usual , just a couple of hours’ sleep because of the bombing . We had breakfast in the kitchen . After that ,
we sat in the garden because the weather was so nice . I saw a small nest in a tree. There were two small birds
in it ! How can such a tiny nest survive ? If they can , then I can as well.
