Monday [12th July]
Very busy day & had to go back to the office after tea, which was a bore. Didnt get back till 7 oclock. Did the
beginning of a painting of a bit of the bazaar in the early afternoon. Called in on de Grenier after being at the office.
Very hot & damp weather - its not pleasant, & for the first time I have had some prickly heat which is most awfully
irritating, but its really not quite as bad as people make it out.
Tuesday [13th July]
Busy day, a lot of cases at the Court so late getting back to breakfast, but the car is a great boon for getting to & fro
from here to the office, its a nice comfortable car of dignified appearance. Went to the Spences tennis in the evening &
had some very good setts. Tried to get there through the bazaar but got rather stuck until rescued by Daly who drove
us in - ignominious but fortunate that he arrived. The bazaar is not a place for a recently taught motorist. Mrs Spence
departs tomorrow. She tries to make excuses all the time to M for going - though there is no need, but she seems to be
almost annoyed at M for remaining on here through the heat. Quite pleasant at the Spences.
