At 10 a.m. I had a visit from Jeff, the wild man who lives at the Doon of May—a sort of commune in a forest which he set up years ago. He is both a thoroughly decent man and very anti-establishment in his politics. He looked quite troubled and was pacing about a bit. It turns out that he’s been offered a considerable sum of money for the timber on the land he bought for his commune and is now faced with the problem of becoming a capitalist.

There was a half-hour blizzard just after Jeff left. Captain was clearly unexpectedly caught out in it and appeared in the shop covered in snow shortly after it ended.

After lunch a customer came to the counter wielding a book about embroidery and said, ‘I don’t want to buy this book, but I found it in the philately section, which would seem to me to be entirely the wrong place for it.’
