This morning Daddy, Nora and I,  went shopping in Boscombe. We bought a lovely pink dance frock for Nora would she saw about a week ago. Daddy left us and we went on with our shopping while daddy went into Bournemouth. We bought a lot of things for Nora and myself. After tiffin we three went to see Bebe Daniels in "Señorita" It was a very good film and very thrilling. We certainly enjoyed it. We came back for tea at about 5:30. We bought a new record called my daddy so now we have about seven new records to take to Shanghai in September.

Daddy, Nora and I went into Boscombe after dinner to see "Hello There" at the "Hippodrome". It was a very funny movie and the house was full.

Got up early per usual to take Nora back to school. I received a letter from Mary Payton at school, and when I got home I got one from Mrs. Payton telling all her plans for August. We will probably spend our week near them at Lustleigh a place outside Torquay.
Made some jelly's this morning. Talked over holiday plans with daddy. Miss Preston, Mary's new nurse, came this afternoon and I took her down to show her the beach bungalow. She is a very nice girl and I quite enjoyed her company. We had our tea down there and came home at about 6 o'clock when Miss Preston be with Mary and put her to bed.

We watched some people playing cricket on the beach and also tennis in the B. Chine Gardens.
Belle went to a cricket match at Billy's school. After dinner we three went to see "Sorrows of Satan". I didn't like the show much as it was too slow and go for my liking. We bought a honeycomb today

 I did shorthand this morning and daddy and Belle went shopping. After tiffin I got ready to go and fetch Nora. I took Mary with me to school and she thoroughly enjoyed herself with all the girls there. On our way home we bought some cakes at Bobby's. Mary fell asleep in my arms and I had to carry her home. We had dinner early then we went off to the theater to see "When Blue Hills Laughed". It wasn't a bad show but not as good as the others we've been seeing lately. It was quite amusing in parts and was better towards the end. We booked tickets for next weeks show called "Compromising Daphne". It is supposed to be very funny so I hope we will enjoy it

We had tea at an old tea house which we went to in 1924 but it has changed altogether and the prices were shocking!!
We went to the Hippodrome to see "Lord Parker" it was screamingly funny and we all roared with laughter most of the evening. Charles Austin was a very good comedian. It was pouring with rain when we got out and we had to wait a long time for the Southbourne tram.
