… managed quite a bit of writing between then and supper … (Diary, 1/5/88)
May 1st Sunday. Quite a day! Jenny here for 10.30, which was lovely; then at teatime, with Jenny thinking about a quick cup before going, old Eileen LeGrand (we 2 wondering whether or not to get another car) wandered in escorted by her lawyer who was taking her for a day out. By the time they had all gone was beginning to feel exhausted; however managed quite a bit of writing between then & supper.
