Are you ever scared when the build up of your punishment comes,and you know you don't have long to wait? Do you suffer from butterflies in your stomach and you get all tense? When the time comes,is the relief over,cos the waiting period is over,or till after your punishment? Perhaps the tension goes when you are being spanked! Who knows?

I hope everyone remembered that! I forgot,but it shouldn't bother me too much. Just got to bring the clocks on an hour. Now the days will be longer and hope we have more lovely weather to come. Have fun!

Cos I was working in the Monstery,I missed the next stages of what went on in the Convent.The Abbot had a word with the Mother Superior about what I was doing,and seemed satisfied with the results,so she didn't find cause to punish me. I went straight to the hall where a vegetable stew was served up,with a roll of bread,and two slices of apple and two of orange,along side a mug of tea. Amazingly the stew was good and I soon rushed it down. Mother Superior couldn't help noticing and told me to eat a bit slower and to savour the food. She was pleased that I was enjoying it,never-the-less. After dinner,we sang our four hymns in Latin and went to our dorms for our time,as we call it. One Sister brought an accoustic guitar on her,so we sang folk songs,Italian and English to help pass the hours. It was a happy occasion and we were all in high spirits. Half nine came and we went into the hall for cookies and cocoa. For a change,we sang our prayers in harmony and it was nice to hear. Then back to our dorms,wash and get ready for bed for lights out. Everyone bid each other goodnight and everything was peaceful once more!

Lunch today was two salad sandwiches,followed by a small glass of fruit juice,and an oat cake. After I had eaten,the Abbot,came over and wanted to know if I could help him in the Monstery. So I excused myself and went with him,which was five minutes away. The Monstery seemed bigger than the Convent,probably cos more monks were there and the rooms were slightly bigger. The Abbot took me to his office where I was shown to book keep and to file things. Basically tidy up the place,as it seemed untidy. That was fine. So I said thank you to the Abbot,who then went on his rounds. The filing part was easy! Everything had to be kept in alphabetical order,then put in various files,that were stored away in files for later use. The book keeping seemed a little more difficult,as I didn't know what the Brothers were short of,nor did I know what was needed,so I made rough guesses in pencil. Two hours passed by and I wanted a break. I began to walk down the corridor. I passed some rooms that looked no different than to the ones in the Convent. I then heard some sounds! I crept nearer. One Monk was having a beating on his bare back with some twigs,like the ones that were used on my neck,only he was receiving more than twelve strokes. I don't know what he did but looked painful to see! I crept back to the Abbot's office to continue with tidying up. I wanted a drink of water,so I asked one passing Brother,if he could fetch me a glass,as I didn't know where to get some. Off he sped and came back,mins later with a glass. I thanked him and drank it down quickly,incase it wasn't allowed! I then carried on working till tea- time.

5am came. I didn't want to get up! I was still having a lovely sleep and didn't want to be disturbed. I made a few grunts and turned over. 5.10am came! The other Sisters already washed and were getting dressed. Two Sisters began shaking me till I stirred. Wake up,one of them was saying or you get punished. I groaned,rubbed my eyes and splashed some cold water on my face. I sleepily looked for a towel and rubbed it,then I struggled to get my habit on. Thankfully,one kind Sister helped me and smiled sympathetically,what I was going through. I was now ready! I put my jumper on and we set off to prayers. The cold air waked me up even more and I was shivering. Prayers were led in the same way as before,so no changes there,and the next bit till breakfast. When breakfast finally came,though small yet again,I was thankful we could eat. This time consisted of an orange,two slices of brown bread with a thin spread and a small bit of cheese. Followed by a mug of coffee. Afterwards,I went straight to the sick bay,where the sick patient who I was dealing with yesterday,seemed a bit better,sat up in bed and gave me a friendly smile. I smiled back with a "good morning." It seemed that the floors needed sweeping,so I got the broom and cleared up the mess. I then went into the kitchen where I washed my hands and set about filling up the jugs. This time,I saw a patient on my rounds,having a coughing fit and coughing up blood. I went to a senior Sister who came to the patient and put a screen round the patient,as not to frighten the other patients. I then was told to get the Prior,who was a Doctor,and assistant head monk to the Abbot. I found the Prior in the church,praying,but I had to disturb him and told him what happened. He understood,so he went to the Sick Bay and found the patient,with the help of two Sisters wheeled him to a private part and was attended there. I carried on with my work till lunch.

5pm came and we took our baskets into the kichen where the other Sisters were preparing dinner. They thanked us and on the way out,I smelt something sweet. I hoped it was going to be something nice. The Mother Superior called us to her and we were split into groups of six,to go in these side rooms for bible study till 6pm,when dinner would be ready. We were allowed to talk,but in whispers as not to disturb the other studies. Before you knew it,6pm was here. Closing our books,we were taken into the hall,yet again and sat down waiting for our meals. When they did come,it was an egg salad with the vegetables we helped to pick earlier,with one egg and surpringly a small bit of ham! To drink was a mug of tea. We gave our thanks and began on our meal. The salad was very nice and I finished it in no time! Pudding was a rhurbarb crumble with ginger. Small but wished I could have had more! From 7pm to half 9pm was to catch up on our own needs like mending our clothes,or having a shower or read a book,or whatever. This was our time so we could be noisy till then. We could wear what we liked,providing we weren't asked to help with the senior Sisters. In our dorms,one nun had some chocolate and she shared it round. Oh it was lovely! As soon as it touched my mouth,I felt I was in heaven! Another nun had brewed some coffee and she was sharing that around,in small cups,so that everyone had some. Half past 9 came too quickly! For the last time that day,we were led into the hall,for cocoa,cookies and prayer which was taken to 10.15pm. After that we were led back to our dormoratries,to wash,undress and get ready for bed,till lights out for 10.30pm. That was my first day at the convent in South Italy.

Lunch time came and I went back to the hall to find out what was for lunch. It was vegetable soup,served in a bowl,two slices of brown bread,one biscuit and an apple. What to drink was a cup of water. I hungrily tucked in. The looking after the patients seemed a satisfying job to do but demanding,though they did seem happy for me to chat to them as well as seeing to their needs. After lunch,Mother Superior led us to the church,where the Abbot,(Chief Monk)was there with some of his Brothers,waiting for us to read out notices for the next two days. I was to continue working in the mornings in the sick bay,and in the afternoons,go out on my rounds,either by helping the monks,calling in on old people,visit the hospital,or just generally help in the convent. This afternoon,was to help in the garden of the convent,seeing to the vegetables that were growing. That seemed okay,so as soon as my name was called,I was taken into the garden,and shown what to do. I was to pull up:-two basketfuls of potatoes,two of carrots,two of lettuces,five dozen eggs,that were laid by six chickens,two basketfuls of tomatoes and two basketfuls of cucumbers. It seemed that the nuns here did have one good meal here and that was had in the evenings. I was meant to do this in silence,but I was caught talking to another Sister,cos I was having problems in pulling up some potatoes. I had to follow the Sister who caught me and was ordered to take off my habit and kneel down as before. Again I had twelve sharpish strokes of those twigs landing on my neck,that made my red patch even bigger. I thanked the Sister,put my habit back on and continued with my duty till 5pm.

I made my way to the sick bay wearing my habit and now,as I was beginning to feel a bit warmer,took off my cardigan. I was now able to speak and smile again,which helped,cos I didn't like being solemn for long. Inside the bay,one Sister was changing the bed sheets but as she had nearly finished,didn't want my offer of help. I went to the kitchen and began to fill the empty jugs with water and went round twenty beds,filling up the empty cups. The last patient I saw,was very hot and was having a fever,so I sat by his bed,found a cloth,and laid it across his forehead. I then helped him to sit up and gave him some sips of water to help him from dehydrating. One Sister came round to praise me of my work,but she told me in her broken English,that I should have dampened the cloth before putting it on his forehead. I apologised to her saying it wouldn't happen again. She said,just that you know you won't forget,come to this office,right now and I will give you something,that you won't forget. Yes Sister,I said and quickly followed her into this office. She signalled me to take my habit off and to kneel on the floor,head down. My hair was cut very short and showed my bare neck,so I was wondering what was going to happen. I didn't wait too long to find out! Several twigs tied together were whipped hurriedly onto my neck that created a slight sting,as well as breeze,causing a red mark. I received twelve of these. Thank you Sister,I said as I got up and put back on my habit. I then went on with my work in the sick bay till lunch.

It is 5am,cold and dark. A Sister comes round,knocking on the doors in the reformatories where we sleep,to get us up and ready for prayers. We are given twenty minutes to wash in cold water and to get into our habits. That seems like a punishment in itself! As the heating didn't come on till 7am,we were allowed to wear a cardigan or jumper. When the others were ready,we were led in silence to the church's side room,where we knelt on these cushions to pray in silence. The older nuns sat on the benches. This lasted an hour. A bell chimed! It was 6am. We were now led into the main church itself to sing four hymns in Latin. One nun made a slip of the language,so I secretly smiled,before the Mother Superior caught me! Another bell chimed. 7am had come. The heating was coming on and time for breakfast. Here breakfasts started early,but where I was from orginally,breakfast began at 8! Maybe something else happened here,that didn't happen there? The hall was large and several nuns were queueing for something to eat and drink. The breakfast consisted of porridge,bread roll and coffee. Very appetising,I thought! The portion of the porridge was small,but I guess this was how the nuns survived to keep them going to lunch. 8am came. When we were finished,the Mother Superior talked to us in Italian,then in English,what our duties were for the day. Between now to lunch,which was at 12.30pm,I was to go to the sick bay and help three other Sisters in looking after the patients.
