Wednesday August 10th 1932

Cossy Street Baths with Jack at lunchtime. Did seven lengths. The pool is 33 yards long, so I swam 231 yards altogether.

Evening, went for a walk with Barry, across sewage farm, towards Anstey. Wandered off the path; lost in the sewage fields. Black earth and evil little streams. Barry in a state, screaming, "can't stand it". Trying to be like Mr Wood, I said quietly, 'Hem'! Control, Barry, Control !' But I was not Mr. Wood! 'Bugger control!' yelled Barry. Eventually struck the Anstey lane, in the dark." Walked to Anstey by road and then home by footpath ‑ not across the Sewage. Home by 11 pm.
