Monday [21 March]
Took cases in the morning, a lot, & the Gunters came to call. Very nice to see them again, they are pleasant people. Went to
the Palace in afternoon again & then to tennis at the mission. The Gunters came to tea, also the navy, Appleton & Curry.
They open no windows & have a tiny room which with nearly 20 people in it becomes extremely stuffy. Mrs Hakkens cakes
are good but the sandwiches taste like beef covered with sugar, foul. Tea quite undrinkable. Dined at the Spences &
afterwards played Bridge, very pleasant. A pity their house is so hideous.
Tuesday [22 March]
Started having the colour wash done. The drawing room in yellow with a blue frieze and blue round the windows & the book
cupboards, dining room yellow & brown, hall blue & yellow frieze, spare room gray & red, other 2 rooms silver gray & mauve.
M went to the bazaar with Mrs Gunter in the morning. Dined with Holmes. Went to Garden in the afternoon & then tennis
& Bridge with Spences.
