Saturday 25 January 1919

" Bought an orange and two pairs of straps for my trousers and leggings.
Did the 12.15 town journey and home on it*
Nana came this evening & brought my watch to the jewellers to be mended. (I have written in my diary that she brought it to the jeweller's on 22nd inst but this is a mistake).
Mrs Hammond knocked at the door late this evening with my trousers.
Weather: Cold. Sunny intervals. No rain. Moderate wind."

*Oscar worked a half-day on Saturdays, he appears to have gone straight home after his journey up to the City. Since the PLA's Cutler Street warehouses were generally referred to as the 'Town' warehouses, this is probably where his journey took him.
