July 16, 1993 Had a very nice dream about Peter last night - that I asked him to marry me, and he was enthusiastic and agreed. And then I had wealth and position. It was a lot less agreeable to wake up, and hear Peter running down to the wickery to have a jolly good crap.

The second day of the period. It is healthy, cleansing, and induces a very pleasant bodily and mental relaxation, & I sleep better. Particularly susceptible to male beauty. (1961)

A lazy, animal sort of day. I am very animal, really. Wish to obey all my promptings at once, then & there, whether it be to eat, or to hit people. (1961)

Got a lift into Bedford with Miss Simmonds - to casually meet her, one would not know she's a sadist. (1960)
