Saturday 18th December 1937

This must be one of the most expensive days on record. Apart from £2-0-0 sent home for family Christmas gifts I spent £1-8-6 on local presents. 3 months tax on the car - £1-13-0. Dancing lessons 5/- Dancing shoes 17/- Pictures and garage 2/- Cigarette stock 7/6.

This afternoon I had my first Tango lesson. Rather ambitious so early perhaps but I’ve always wanted to Tango. Cruising along Western Esplanade I saw members of the CHA Club tramping townwards. So I met them in the evening after they’d had tea and we all went to the Pictures. A full day!

And still bitterly cold.
