Day 256

The High Court ruled that the pit closures were illegal. Cashed my giro. Went into town. Picked up the placement keys from Sasha.

In the afternoon to my parents', decorated both Christmas trees with my brother. Letter from D this morning, wishing me a Merry Christmas and being pro-Serbian and really rather witty. Don't like the reports of systematic rape coming out of Yugoslavia. A pity that the Serbs, who were so hard done by in WW2 by the Nazi puppet Croatians, and so get my support, may have acted so wickedly. Wasn't all of them by any means of course

Only 2 placement shifts to go before Christmas.
