Twenty minutes late opening the shop—forgot to set the alarm last night. Fortunately Nicky was here on time to open up, and justifiably berated me for my idleness when I appeared, bleary-eyed and shoeless.

Old friends the brothers Robin and Bernard dropped round at about 11 a.m. and bought some books. Robin always buys books about history and cricket. Bernard is someone I haven’t seen for a while. He surprised me by buying several books about the American Civil War, in which it appears he has a keen interest.

One of today’s customers—a man in a deerstalker—came in and out of the shop six times in the space of an hour. He didn’t buy anything.

Cold day, and it looked like snow was coming, so I told Nicky that she could leave at 4.30.
