Tuesday 13 October 1936

After an absence of nearly two months, I went up for RNVR drills. Ah! It was good to feel the old environment around, once more! “V/S Division – Shun!” Morse and semaphore reading, (flags). To my amazement I got 68% in morse and 94% in semaphore.

Afterwards, I met Gwyn at Charing Cross to arrange a weekend outing. Astounding; the arranging took an hour and a half. She left me at Waterloo and I came down by the 11:18. And I could write two or three pages of silliness and self- accusation. But I won’t.
