Monday 5th August 1935

Bank Holiday; and hot. That beastly cold gone, so I had a river swim. Noisy almost flat dives into coolness. Swish of water as my head went through. C’est delicious!

Forest Park after tea. Pleasant conflab with Dick. Told me all his adventures: I told him little of mine. How obviously, we go our ways!

My room looks clean and light with its Paripan flat cream (two coats). Incidentally, painting is an occupation which does not amuse me in the least!
