Visited Pat Cullinan ((Police, TB patient in hospital)) He's now caught malaria. He said how wonderful Dr Y-E had been to him, (and to M. Manning and C. Coull, both also Police in hospital with TB). That either he, or Marcus Manning or C. Coull had some complaint when Mark made his morning rounds. He's fed up at getting malaria, as it's another bother for Dr Y-E. "I don't mind, I can take it." So brave of him. I didn't stay long, he has loads of visitors and they were lining up. Pat had been having APT treatment every week for about a year before our war, he said there was a time when he thought he was for the next world, but Dr Y-E pulled him through.
Mabel and I went for a tramp this evening to collect a 'Yule log'! Only managed a few twigs. We went to see Billie Gill, Brian already in bed, so sweet.
Elsie Bidwell came in evening to have slacks fitted ((Mum and Mabel and Mrs K helped people to adapt clothes.))
