Monday 7th August 1939

West-End day with George and Jacko – making the most of their remaining time as civilians. Sultry day, with lots of sweat in Town.

We saw a leg and bosom show at the Prince of Wales’, rowed on the Serpentine and had dinner at Schmidt’s.

11:30p.m. Called at Hammersmith and helped Father. Damned hot in that confounded cellar!

Bed 1 a.m. How ever long is it since I was in bed by midnight?
