Amazing edict today - all men of military age whose wives aren't in camp (Police under 40, civilians under 35) have to go and sleep in the Gaol for about 3 weeks. Supposed to be because there might be escapes attempted in the blackout, then the Japs would have to punish all of us. Even the young doctors had to go - Dr Loan, Dr Y-E and Dr Alan Barwell, athough C.S.O. staff have been exempted.
Had upper left 8 tooth filled temporarily today. If it doesn't ache after 3 days then dentist will fill it properly.
Finished typing story.
Mum's block had herring today - lovely big ration, and seconds of them too. We ((at hospital)) had ours in chow fan.
