Fine and cool. Ploughing going on along Long Road. Got in quite early this morning. Saw a trench being cut at St Botolph’s Corner site, on Blomfield’s land, to put in a new water pipe connection to the Britannia Works, where there is an excellent section, down to about 10 feet.
Awful row this morning about the
removal of farm-workers by the Ministry of Labour. Two girls working at Prior’s, Mile End Road,
were sent in by the Labour Exchange.
Within a few minutes Prior rang up in an awful state, as well he might
be. As a matter of fact, we are actually
hiring girl labour to Prior, yet the Ministry of Labour have the impudence to say that he
has redundant labour.
Went to see a colour-film but it
was a waste of time. Called at Diana’s
afterwards, and stayed there until half past 12. Walked back to Boxted in a lovely evening. It is light almost all night. Far to the North were faint lights, as if the
aurora. Thought longingly about Inverness .
