Fine, hot, nice SW wind.

Some unpleasantness re dust-bin & stinking fish.

153 ½ lbs. wood to Dutch.

Rome fell 4th. Usual Axis tripe re humanitarian reasons, desire to preserve the place & being of no strategic value. Seems the Axis are catching it pretty well all round.

Lorry did not arrive until after 5pm. Wood had to be fetched from pier by our party despite protest made yesterday.

With Steve pm. talked of war & possibilities. Hurry up Yanks.
