Day off.

Saw Mr Davis, our plays now set for 15,16 & 17th Feb.

Several people in trouble with guards; one was slapped, some had stones thrown at them (over all-clear signal misunderstanding).

Buddens came and played bridge. ((Mrs. Maggie Budden, and daughter Barbara Budden who was a stenographer colleague of mine in HK Govt.  Maggie's husband died in Shamshuipo pow camp, as did Barbara's brother Gilbert who was my age - as children Gilbert and I sat in adjoining desks at Garrison School.))

Visited Pat Cullinan (HK Police), he wants to put on trial scene from Merchant of Venice. ((Throughout internment Pat was hospitalised with TB))
