Got up about 9 o’clock. Went to the infirmary with Father¹. Had short walk round town and got papers and diaries. Called for Willie Marshall and arranged to go out with him in the afternoon. Went for him after dinner. Walked along to Whitburn² and back. Went to pictures at night. A good number present. Played whist before supper. Had different games after supper and we left about 3 o’clock. Enjoyed ourselves pretty well.

2. Whitburn: then still a fishing village, a mile north of the Sunderland built-­up area. ↩
