A very busy day today. I was told there was someone to see me by the messages box &amp; when I got down who should be there but Morris, Walter &amp; Blackwall. We had a chat for 10 mins. We had a bit of a job balancing &amp; what with being busy I didn\u2019t get home till 8 o\u2019clock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tuesday April 2nd<\/strong><br>Very busy again today. I got the 5.50 train home &amp; just missed my connection in Tamworth. I tried to ring home &amp; couldn\u2019t get through. After about a quarter of an hour I discovered that you now have to put 4d in the box instead of 3d. I went dancing with Sam Loughead. The girl I had hoped to see wasn\u2019t up there but we had a good time all the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wednesday April 3rd<\/strong><br>Had a pretty big London Clearing today &#8211; didn\u2019t finish listing it until quarter to eleven. We were busy today &amp; I got the 6.5 bus home. I was very moody this evening. It\u2019s all this social standard (snobbery) business that gets on my nerves. Much more of it &amp; I shall be properly up the wall. I shall make a move next Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Monday April 1stI had a laugh thinking of Sid Faulkner\u2019s face when he got the parcel this morning.
