Eighty years ago today Saturday 23 August 1941

A rotten day; spent all morning getting Swayne’s warrant altered by Senior Supply Officer. Lounged again in the afternoon. Saw boys off at 6:00 p.m. then went to see ‘Adam had 4 Sons’ at the New Empire. A great film, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Had a look at the cabaret and went to bed about 11:30 p.m. I shall never like the life, it’s just an empty show.

Went to bed early; it was very hot – I was practically wet through.
