'I woke up feeling extremely bored with life ... it was a foul day, like yesterday. I did exactly the same things ... During the forenoon the sea gave signs of going down much to my disgust, as I am enjoying myself immensely as I am. We had lunch at 12.0, & I started another magazine in the afternoon. I really must remember to send home for some books.'
