Little boy McLeod blew himself up - he's all right so far  ((He must have picked up some small war explosive lying around; he recovered quickly.))

Mr Watson (Police) started giving me Cantonese lessons.

Olive and I went to see Mrs Billie Gill and Brian who was 2 years old yesterday, in Bungalow B. Brian looks mostly like his mother, but he has Paddy's mouth and teeth. Very big and talkative for his age.  Paddy went through Dunkirk.
