Full Moon, 10.46 p.m.
Wrote to Susan. Went home to Mummie. Had some “Radio Malt”*. Jill Cothay came up to the senior school. I wrote to Anne Bourne & Lavender as well.
*According to Wikipedia: Radio Malt was an early to mid-20th century brand of malt extract preparation that followed the Minadex trend.[1] Produced by British Drug Houses, it contained vitamin A, aneurine hydrochloride, riboflavin, and calciferol.[2] The contents were sickly sweet, with a consistency between molasses and treacle.
