Wednesday May 18, 1983

 Had a good nights sleep and woke up feeling better. But the mornings are always better. 

Ally feeling faint. ___________. Bessie has posted an early birthday card which I have hid on top of the wardrobe. It's adressed to Mrs M Dixon. She is a case. We have received an application form from Bass. We cannot concentrate on breweries at the moment. If Ally is pregnant then I suspect we will have to do something completely different because no brewery would employ a woman heavy with child. 

Susan phoned. The Nasons will be calling upon us on Friday with Ally's birthday present. It's awful that we haven't seen them since that day last month when we sat in the garden at Thorpefields with them. 

Tonight Ally is home looking bushed again to find John and Janette here. They walked in at about 2. The boy had taken her out to lunch and they thought they would come over and entertain me.  They were not fiery or brutal and were very pleasant together. Janet (who soiled John's sheets and disappeared with them) is selling her flat and John would like to break through and add it to his. He has raised the floor giving it a disco effect. They left and we had a curry. Ally irritable and she aches everywhere. Bessie phoned. We said nothing of our forthcoming news. Andrew takes his driving test on Friday. To our beds after the nine o'clock news. I read Brideshead Revisited. The TV series stuck very much to the book.

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...
