This might very well be Friday 13th but nothing very exciting happened. Sleeping, eating & writing - all I did.

In the morning Dick and I went to town. It takes the cleaners a week to clean the clothes, so I took them in to-day. Went to Cannings & bought a jar of Heinz pickles (40¢) and a can of ripe olives (24¢). We also went shopping for some socks for Dick, and were told that they didn't carry such large sizes here, as they had no call for them. 
This evening we had the Adamsons to dinner. We had a private table on the veranda, and everything was fixed very nicely. Our menu consisted of tomato soup, fried fish (as Dick likes it) chicken, ochra, potatoes fixed several ways, cho-cho and ice cream. Our pickles and olives made the dinner quite complete.

Of course a large cricket had to land on me. I flicked him off my shoulder with as much nonchalance as possible - a great deal more than I would have had a year ago! When I said that I wished there were some way of getting rid of such things, a bat flew in and began swooping up & down the ballroom catching insects! We got home & to bed about 2 a.m.

Dr Pound invited Dick to go on a trip to-day. I had thought, at first, that it was to be an outing for men only, but when I discovered that Dick & Dr Pound were the only ones going I decided to go with them. It was such a lovely day that I didnt want to stay home. Mr Pound has a V-8 Ford roadster which is very comfortable.
