Hazy in the early morning, and not quite so hot. Very late in, so went to see Father first, and was relieved to find him well. Miss Payne is most anxious to go away for a weekend which worries me.
Went out, and called at the
scene-painting shop in the old public hall, to see Diana. Had a cup of tea and a chat.
Astonishing telephone message
from Engledow at Writtle, to say that it had been decided to dismiss Mrs Allen
at once, as she is quite unsuitable to look after Land Girls. This is quite the most fantastic piece of
nonsense that has yet come out of the Labour Department. As a matter of fact, Mrs Allen is very good
with the girls. It is a perfect outrage
that she should be treated in this way.
Naturally Engledow has not given the slightest consideration as to how we should manage the girls for the
rest of the sugar-beet season. Captain Folkard is
furious.
Clouded over this afternoon. Took Daphne out to tea and to the Hippodrome
to see “Fanny by Gaslight”, very well done and I much enjoyed it. Out at 9.45.
Heavy clouds, and the glass gone back.
Shortly after 11 it began to
thunder and lightning, and rain fell.
Hardly a ‘plane about. To bed at
1 a.m., the moon beginning to show through cloud-rack.
