Mabel is happy. 'Mara' (Tamara Jex), 'Nan' (Nan Grady), and 'Gin' (Virginia Beaumont) are here. Mabel and I sat in boiling sun on grass above the Indian Quarters and waited patiently. VADs arrived in 3 buses, their luggage came by sea. Rosaleen (Millar) was hanging out of the first bus. Nan spotted Mabel and called her, and Mabel called 'Nanny' and it made me want to cry. Mabel careered over to them on Bowling Green where luggage was being sorted, - much embracing.
Muriel McCaw came as a stretcher case and is in hospital now.
Colossal row over bedspace in room this morning during washing floor operations. ((There were now 6 of us in a very small room))
