Every one got 2 pairs of shorts and 2 shirts from Welfare today. ((The shorts were a peculiar shape, and unisex but adaptable. The shirts were bright colours which did wonders for our morale, in a sort of cotton ribbing. We girls mainly wore our shirts upside down , cutting off the original v-neck which became the bottomt hem; the original bottom hem was then sewn up to go across the shoulders, forming a more circular neck which looked quite stylish - to us.))
Frightening to remember that now it stays hot like this right through till late October - Mr Fraser's original estimate of our incarceration.
Tiger still at large.
Dr Selwyn Clarke came in yesterday and wanted nurses for Kowloon Hospital.
Mrs. Greenwood very disappointed – they wouldn't consider her because she has an operation pending. I do wish they would make it an exchange and send Mabel to us. Mum longs so much for her.
Some of the Americans have had their $75 parcels in.
Mrs K sick.
