Mrs. Dale, the doctor's wife, records the daily happenings in the life of her family
(BBC recording)
(To be repeated tomorrow at 11.0 a.m.)

Last week Mrs. Dale decided to go on a light diet. Mrs. Freeman, Sally, and Isabel overwhelmed her with details of what she must not eat. Richard Fulton, now at Sally's cottage, continued to annoy Mrs. Donovan and Christine by expecting to be waited on all the time and also by walking about the cottage well into the night. David asked Gwen if she would like to visit his home in Wales with him. Michael also asked her if she would like to go to France for a fortnight with him and two other friends. Mr. King had another disagreement with Stan Skeats and Bob and reported them to the Administration. However, Mr. King himself was reprimanded about his personal relationships with his staff.
