2 years today since Dad died.

9 bombers flew over, and one ship towing another.

Elec. off on our floor.

Nothing in the way of meat.

Shanghai people standing by.

In evening Mabel and I walked to St Stephens in the hope that Elizabeth Drown would be playing, but no.  We went to cemetery, and saw body on rocks and bundles on the beach.
