I sat in the sun & read most of the morning. In the afternoon it rained very hard so Dick read "Murder Must Advertise" to me.
In the evening Mrs Mac Donald had 2 tables of bridge. One specially for me composed of Miss Burt, Mrs King, Saucy Williams & myself. It was a very pleasant evening, altho' a little chilly.

After dinner Dick played bridge with us - Miss Glegg, Miss Goodall & me.
