{The Lake}[16th April 1968]

[Redbook1:26][19680416:2250]{The Lake}[16^th April 1968][Age 16]

16^th April 1968 – 10.50 p.m.

            Yesterday T[O] and KO came over for the afternoon, and we went up to the lake.  As they didn't want to swim naked, S[T], A, [,,,] and I went up to the other end and swam.  K[O] and S got on O.K., but T seemed rather nervous and preoccupied about something -- possibly 'A' levels, of which she is taking two this summer.  She bit her sunglasses’ arms, and wasn't very talkative.  She is nicer than she was three years ago however.  K said she couldn't swim because of her period, but it may just have been shyness in both of them.  Their parents came for drinks and took them away later, and S[T] finally left late at night leaving us half a hundredweight of potatoes.

            Today I went into [DF] with M in the morning.  In the afternoon we got the Vicar (of [VI], Anglican church) to countersign our shot gun certificate applications and then we handed them in at FH Police station.  EN came over in the afternoon -- she is quite pretty now but rather young for her age -- not an unpleasing trait.  This evening we sent A off to London with some suitcases of ours (by train).  They are dismantling the [...] station at DF -- only the northernmost through line is left.  S wants for her birthday an edition of Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings" exactly like mine, but I want her to get another edition -- we fell out over that rather.
