Friday, 18 June 1937

Went to Caledonian Markets with Miss Slattery & Mrs E, an enormous place, a lot of rubbish, great quantity of silver there. Fruit is cheap. Bought silver coffee pot for 2/6 also apples & tomatoes. Had lunch at Lyons – got back to the hotel feeling very tired. Had a rest, then made a cup of tea. Mrs E & I took bus to Shepherds Bush. Bought pair of shoes for 7/6. Back again to dinner, then to the Lyceum Theatre. Saw Richard Tauber & Evelyn Laye in Paganini. Great storm as we got out. Had to wait ¾ hr before we got a taxi. Had tea & then to bed.
