Rumours that Germans in Libya have collapsed.

The men this morning had orders to assemble outside to bring up parcels, but it was a false alarm - tomorrow instead.

Mum and I went for walk through the cemetery; graves ((war ones)) have been made up beautifully, and poppies - hand painted - placed on graves, especially on the VADs - Mrs. Begg, Mrs. Buxton (whose husband also was killed in the war), Mrs. Smith and others.

Mabel better, she ate a rice pudding in evening because Sister Maureen Carew couldn't eat it.
