Wednesday 31st July 1935

Up early. Hurried through the green fields towards Staines. A lift part of the way, along Chertsey Lane, with Maddison’s people. Tired before the day began, but surprisingly, not sleepy.

Left works 5.45, collected my cycle and came home. Nearly ten o’clock. Supper and then sleep. Long day ahead. (No, not “fed-up” at all. But very impatient of success.)
