Monday 17 June

47 Hamilton Terrace

I went over to tea with Anne and Sarah and rang up Wenham after supper.

Tuesday, 18 June

Mabel lunched here and in the evening I went to the Mercury Theatre to see La Maison de Bernada. Took Kathleen Hill. Fascinating but a horribly grim play.

Wednesday, 19 June

Ruth Browning came to lunch and stayed for an early tea after which I went to McArthur for a shampoo and wave.

Thursday, 20 June

I went down to the Graces to see Lil - arrived for lunch and stayed till tea, getting back about 7 o'clock.

Thought Lil very distinctly better but still looking very white and delicate. She took a little turn in the garden in the afternoon and was very feeble on her legs. She had lunch and tea up in her bedroom.

Friday, 21 June

I was busy all morning preparing lunch for GH. Very pleasant. In the afternoon Mabel turned up for an early tea after which I went to see the film of the Victory Parade in Technicolor.

Then home to write letters after which I started cutting the lawn - very heavy work. Rang up Lil in the evening.

Did some shopping in morning. Lunched at home and gardened in the afternoon. Enid came out to tea.

Sunday, 23 June

I went to morning service at St Marylebone Parish Church were Mother was married. Back to lunch on the loggia where I also had tea. Did quite a bit of gardening.
