Up at 6 with severe pains, something in last night’s dinner upsetting me. Had breakfast and then went off to the boat which sailed at 9.30. Bumped a Tommy Sgt. Major through wanting to stay up on deck, neither won. Reached Folkestone, after a quiet trip, about midday, and Horseferry Road at 2.30. From here took a taxi to Southampton Row but could not book a room at the West Central, but managed to at the Premier Hotel, 4/6 a room, now being 6/6.
However I had no time to look for better. Then rushed off to L. M. & Co. to draw some money, after which I bussed it to Gt. Smith St. to see Geo Say if possible. He was out, but managed to get his address so took a tube out to Kensington, after some trouble I managed to find it, but he was out, but the people insisted on me coming in and then gave me a slap up tea. Left here at 9 after a pleasant evening and returned to the hotel. Then posted two letters, 2 minutes later I realised that I had for-gotten to put stamps on them, so went back at 11 o’clock when the box was cleared. Raining most of the day and rather depressing.
