Washed my hair in cold water, because Mr Allison wouldn't give me any hot water. ((Mr A presided all day long  over a couple of household electric water boilers in the Married Q.  There was always a queue for hot water for tea or whatever.  This morning he told the us the water hadn't quite boiled,   so I said could I have my ration as I didn't need boiling water for washing my hair, but he said I couldn't have water for hair-washing.))

Went visiting for choir members. Betty Aslett says she will come if we have Latin classes.

In evening, to Dr. I. Newton's 'Glimpses into Surgical History' about asepsis.
