Harry & Alix took us & Alix in the car and there was some hesitation about a writing table for Alix which someone else bought. In the house electricians, glazier; the Spanish chest & Laura's wardrobe came. To Charing + to see Roz: Jim trying to boss her in a brutal way & making a mess of things for her. Saw Betty Cadness, the pathologist there. A walk with Laura after supper. To bed at 2 o'clock after work.
