Dear Diary

We went to a Midsummer’s Dance at Rainham Town although the weather was really baking and much too hot for dancing.  We had a marvellous time.  I enjoyed myself more than I had before.  Since I have been going out with Mike, that is.   We got a taxi home after being caught in a great shower of confetti and streamers. He was so sweet this evening, so attentive. He kept giving me little pecks on the cheek while we were dancing.  I just hadn’t the heart to finish with him.
