September 7, 1978

Today Leslie Longstaff came for a chat about my cooks and she will test me on Tuesday. Then I read, and played with the dolls until lunch. After lunch I went swimming. When I got back Zeta was here and she passed me on my toymakers badge. When she left Mummys friend and her little girl Naiomi came. After that Katie Sizer came. We saw ‘Three for the Road’. After supper I saw ‘The Good Live’.

Leslie and Zeta were both friends of my mum’s who appear to have kindly offered to test me on my Guide badges – the tester is supposed to be someone other than a regular Guider or a member of the family. Naomi Hawkes’ mother, Alice, is from Uganda; Naomi is now a barrister.
