Friday March 18th 1932
Woke up 7.50. Got to work 8. 5am. What a rush.
About this time, I had the idea to keep a vigil each year on the nineteenth of March, to sort of dedicate myself to certain decencies, and to an adventurous spirit; to consider the past and reflect upon the present, and wonder about the future. An odd idea really ! Don't know where I had the idea in the first place. Some physical effort was entailed. It meant walking to a lonely place at night, at some distance. Anyhow, I did this again in 1933, walking out from Lincoln to Sudbrook, and again in 1934, walking out from Egham to Chobham. I think the custom declined after this. Maybe I had grown‑up.
