Today we had bread for breakfast. Rice & veg if you can call it veg – falgrass & bit of turnip and for the first time today we had a sort of pumpkin. Bread for tea – tea as a drink has finished long ago unless you buy your own so we drink very chlorinated water. Yesterday we had a bit of a bombshell dropped. The nips won’t take any HK$ which means that many people now are unable to buy any extras from the store. What the people in town will do goodness knows as the $ for them is now 4 to 1. We have had to prepare for possible air raids – impossible I should say. i.e all stretchered patients to ground floor & so on. The moon is full so I wonder... The news we get might be true & it might not we’ve been done! So many times already, but it seems to have taken a turn for the better. When I started to write I thought I had a lot to say but I must have been mistaken.
