Monday 9th August 1937

Having received a little over £12 for arrears of pay and expenses last Saturday, I am haunted by no spectre at the moment. Paid in £7-0-8 at the Midland Bank this morning, bringing my balance to £7-2-0. My credit has never been so high since I left school!

Did not feel very enthusiastic or enterprising today – pushing around on a blasted bicycle! No initiative. No orders.
