May 23

23 Wednesday (144-222)

I made a cake and pudding after breakfast and then I did an hour of shorthand. Daddy and Mrs. Nash went into Bournemouth to buy cakes for this afternoon's tea party. After tiffin we got the house tidied up to receive our guests at 4 o'clock. Mrs Day Mrs. Russell and Mrs. Fortesque arrived. We talked by the fire then went in to tea. After tea we chatted about places abroad and showed  them pictures of the places we visited this last trip. They ended up with cocktails, and they went home about 7:30 PM.. Well, it was a very enjoyable afternoon with such pleasant company.
After dinner we sat in the firelight and I played the gramophone until after 10 o'clock.
