Crisped burnt rice is ruining my teeth..  I keep meaning not to eat it, but never succeed. ((A lining of burnt rice collected on the rice boilers each day; it was prised off and distributed to a 'burnt rice queue' after the meals.))

'Gymkhana Water Sports' but I was too tired to go, also it was during hospital visiting hours.

Request Concert in evening.  I liked Wilkinson girls (young JoanMaureen & Marjorie) singing, and Irene Drewery (9).   Japs taking flashlights, and every one crooked their fingers into V's. Japs apparently also photographed the Water Sports and the food queue.
