Saturday 23rd February 1935

Did my homework at high speed during the afternoon and found myself with nothing to do after tea. A year ago, I’d have taken a lonely walk and brooded and been (probably) miserable. Tonight, I walked into Egham and spent the evening in the Kings Head; talking around the lounge fire.

I am not broke yet! Until I have reached the Combat stage, I’ll enjoy myself and snatch as much carefree happiness as possible.
