Despite having my glasses, am beginning to have trouble with eyes – no sunglasses.  Went with Mum to Welfare, she got milk powder and apricots.

Mrs. Grant has lost 70lbs. ((This is the neighbour and friend who, when we were shipped to Stanley, cried that she couldn't jump from our ship into the junk to take us ashore.   Mum too had lost a tremendous amount of weight, she weighed 133 lbs. when she came out of hospital, having been about 170 pre-Jap attack.))

We may be swimming next month!
