Up at 9:30 feeling very much like a condemned man. Evidently I came home from the party and burst into a fit of uncontrollable tears. Prepared lunch, washed the bird and got her trussed, &c. Went to meet Auntie Mabel at the station at 12:45. I had left Ally running around half naked clutching a pressure cooker in one hand and a vacuum cleaner in the other, but when I returned half an hour later with Mabel she and the house were transformed. We had a couple of glasses of sherry and sat down to our homemade tomato soup, roast chicken and apple crumble at 2:30. She spoke of cousin Jackie and Barry and their plans. The afternoon ended with cups of tea and a conversation about the beautiful Princess of Wales. Took auntie to her bus at 5:30. Shattered. To bed early.
