Wednesday 11 June 1919
Heavy thunder storm early this morning. Naturally there is plenty of rain. Had a hair cut today & go in tomorrow to get my hair treated. Ernest & I went to Renfrew by train. It is along the Clyde. Saw all the shipbuilding yards. Came home by crossing the river in a ferry & getting the train back. Everywhere one goes here there is one mass of children playing in the streets. The majority too are filthy dirty.

Wrote 8 pages home to all today. Very heavy thunder storm lightening & rain was very good. I enjoyed it. Met Moffitt in the afternoon & had tea with him. Went in to the hairdresser & got some advice about my hair. Harriet came out & she, Ernest & I went to the pictures & then took her home. Was quite decent coming back. Rain had stopped.
