Court. Office. Very busy but nothing of interest. Expected the Agency people to tennis in afternoon so
didn't go to Nixs Bridge - made all arrangements - as usual they didn't come. At 5 o'clock I got a message
saying that Harvey was not coming so I washed it out - typical of the navy. I was especially annoyed as
in the first place I didn't suggest it myself. Worked in the garden, cut down a lot of the creepers over the
gate which had become a nuisance & tidied up on the centre path, cutting back the trees & bushes on each
side. Cole, Metcalfe, Joweth from Shoreham & Scrimshire came to dinner, I imagined J played Bridge
but he didn't. A very poor dinner, possibly owing to the heat, which was great, a south wind very hot but
quite dry.
