 Autumnal. Heavy rain. John phoned to say he isn't going to be in the flat, but says that Janette is coming down all the same. They will have to stay with us.We don't mind. She is such a nice girl.

A scrumptious dinner tonight. Mum and Dad came at 7:30. We dined on seafood pancakes, roast chicken, &c, profiteroles, pineapple and ice cream. One couldn't have a better dinner at the Ritz. We sat around the table until after 12 making conversation by candlelight. I wanted to inform them about John and Janette. He won't have said anything. Mum says she could have guessed. __________. Dad is really humorous and told the story of his army days and particularly the tale of when he wanted leave to leave Germany to come home for John's birth. He owed everything to the padre.

Bed at 4:30am.

A warm, gentle day. Ally and I took off to town with Samuel at 1pm. We didn't take the pram and I carried baby for two hours, by the end...
