The only drawback is that one gets so easily and so soon tired - my back seems to be breaking most of the time but still we can stick it out much longer yet. Still I do hope that relief comes by the end of May. There are riots in H.K. and very little food is being sent out to us - we'll be left stranded perhaps and then trouble will start. However we must hope for the best. All my love Darling BB
