Got up about 6 o’clock and went for a bathe. Grand day again. Went along Kil-­Kel [sic] Braes¹ in the morning and read Poison Island by Quiller-­Couch ². Went down to the beach in the afternoon and listened to the pierrots a minute or two. Bought a doll for Dorothy. Walked round sea front at night with Ernie.
