News bad in Russia, so-so in Egypt.

Pork today – Olive felt bad after it and went home from office, and Dr. Selwyn-Clarke came in and so I was busy as busy.  

Our flat's electricity still out.

Mabel's throat worse, she can get her food at the Diet Kitchen today - tomato soup and rice pudding. ((To make the rations more palatable for invalids and very young children, some adult invalids qualified to get their meals from the Diet Kitchen (ground floor room in Block 2) where the rice was cooked into a mash.))
