Ash Wednesday, but we were too late waking up to go to the church service.
Lovely pork.
Walk in evening with Mum who gave me verbal cooking lessons - we both enjoyed these meals in our imagination.
((An explanation of the canteen in Stanley:- Limited supplies of prized food were sent into camp, and sold usually twice weekly - if you had money, which was very limited as people hadn't been paid since fighting ended. Each person was only allowed to buy so much of a particular item.
Huge queues at the first canteens - Olive and I took turns keeping a place for hours; when our turn came at last there was little choice, we just got a tin of Instant Postum which turned out to be a delicious drink.
In due course canteen days were well organised so that every person had a shopping turn once in so many sessions, so that the wealthiest couldn't buy up all that was available every time.))
