Thursday 29th August 1935

Works: Having been a month or so on the packing bench, I casually suggested to Harris (Foreman) that I’d like to move onto the other side. He enthusiastically set me to work at once, with Miss Wakefield. Confounded stock sheets! Pen, ink and typewriter. My instructor goes on holiday next week. Usual luck! Best way to learn, perhaps.

Evening; Cycled to Thorpe and got my slippers (left behind last week). Stayed awhile. Two whiskeys and a light ale. Dear people at the Red Lion.
