Cholera and typhoid injections - in one from Dr Selby. Got 1 lb sugar (Yen 1) for Mum, and one for Mabel from Medical Canteen. Dug up some of our own sweet potatoes - enormous, but not really sweet.  Fried them tonight - we had pork fat for tiffin luckily. Finished writing Chapter 4. Played bridge in evening. Mrs Franklin kindly gave me a piece of pastry crust.
No news again. Rained. A wall & barbed wire to be erected across front of Club.
