Mabel and I back from paddling round the blocks with no shoes on. She told me about the shows the VADs gave at the Military Hospital (often known as Bowen Road Hospital); and when she, as the baby of the VADs, was called upon to present a bouquet of flowers to the Matron for some anniversary. And how upset Nanny (Nancy Grady) was when Mabel came away.
News still supposed to be improving – Egypt, and Crimea, but local paper still claiming Germans getting into Russia.
Tony came in evening, we played rummy. His news is that the Japs are jittery – but his news is always on the optimistic side ((what a good thing, he was a great morale raiser.))
