Dad kept meticulous records of money spent every day. These accounts were frequently mixed in with other accounts of his day, diary musings. He wrote a line or two in small pocket diaries for every day of his adult life as far as I know. I’ve saved some of them and had it in mind to type them up at some point. I wonder if I ever will?

These pages show that at this point in his life he was not short of disposable cash.
