We arrive Home & get to bed at 2 am, we sit down to supper at 11.50 pm & at 12.5 am find that 13 sat down. S gets me alongside. We go Home through all back streets & nearly get lost. All in fancy dress & have a real Happy Time. Lilley, E & I go to Lyric Theatre, see good show. I am very emotional at Scotch songs. Marionettes grand especially the woman with long skirts who dances.
