Monday 23 June 1919
Cold & windy today. We got the 9 am boat. Janet & Violet came down to see us off. Got the train to Glasgow. Arthur met us there & after taking our luggage to Queen St Station we went out to Alice's for lunch. Saw them all. Broke the news & they were all pleased. Came to Edinburgh & Janet went to visit pals whilst I went to Corstorphine. Told Auntie & she was pleased. Saw Adolph again. He annoys me. I put up with him tho. Met Janet at Frasers. We told them & poor Janet got a lecture. Had a huge rush for our train but got a whole compartment to ourselves whilst the rest of the train was packed. A guard even locked the door for us. Had a bonny sleep.

Bonny journey. Slept about 5 hours. Brekker at Kings Cross Hotel. Went to Victoria & got a ticket for Brighton & then back to Kings X. Got a taxi & took trunk & selves to Victoria. Had bother over the ticket but got it set OK. Put Janet in the train & then got one myself for Clapham Junction. Came out to my digs. Wrote a couple of letters. Went down to the garage. Took a sergeant to Eaton Place. Had dinner & came home to bed. Some tired too.
