May 5th Thursday. Into Chichester for a spot of shopping, my first in months, nylons, a scarf etc. Found myself (it will have to come out of Norah Balchin’s legacy) a pair of amethyst chop earrings which are being put onto screws for me. Found stuff for the dining room curtains, Warmer’s (?) “Palace Binds”, hideously expensive but just what I and the dining room both want.
